What do you understand by the Word "Environment"?

Environment consists of everything that surrounds us, water, air, plants, animals, our communities we live in. This environment can have a huge impact in our health, it could be positive or negative impact as the case may be.

Our environment has an effect on how our physical, emotional and social life will appear to be. It can be greatly enhanced by a clean and healthy environment.

We can stay healthy by keeping our environment clean, it can also enhances our mood and our performance thereby reducing stress, anxiety, and sadness.

On the other hand, staying in a dirty areas or in poor condition areas can raise the risk of respiratory illnesses, heart problems, and some health concerns.

Air and water pollution can affect our health in several ways.

Health conditions like lung cancer and respiratory conditions like bronchitis and asthma are likely caused by air pollution, which is mostly brought on by burning fossil fuels, industrial processes, and car emissions.

Drinking contaminated water, untreated sewage, and industrial waste can also cause skin conditions, reproductive issues, and gastrointestinal tract illnesses.

The use of dangerous chemicals and inappropriately disposing waste can pollute the soil, which can contaminate crops, food and cause damage to human health.


What are some simple actions you take every day to promote environmental health?

There are several ways to promote our environmental health, I will be picking the few simple steps out of many; We can promote our environment by preserving resources and cutting down on pollution, therefore we should protect the environment by minimising rubbish and supporting environmental health.

We should endeavor to fix leakages from taps, upgrade to an efficient water appliances can also be of help in promoting environmental health.


How can education and awareness play a role in promoting environmental health?

By educating people in making wise decisions and taking constructive actions in protecting the environment and the effects of environmental deterioration.

Public awareness campaigns, environmental education in school, and community outreach initiatives can increase public knowledge of environmental issues and motivate group action.

In conclusion, the environment consists of everything that surrounds us and they can have a significant impact on our wellbeing. Air, water, soil pollution, can have negative effects on human health. Therefore we should take simple actions everyday by promoting education and awareness.
