Hello healthy steemians hope we are all doing great by Gods grace ...my name is @newtonb and I’m very happy to be writing ✍️ here today. I’m here to take part in the steemit engagement challenge with the tittle the environment and our health. Please read through and leave your thoughts.
To me the word environment refers to the space or peripheral in which plants, animals and human cohabit.
The environment is also seen seen as the land surrounding our natural habitat.
The environment is the circumstances that surrounds the ways we live, plants grow and animals. It involves the natural resources and features in a particular sphere.
The environment impacts our wellbeing in so many ways because it is the nature of the environment that guarantees our safety in regards to health.
If the environment we as humans live in is full of waste and toxins then it can have a negative impact on our wellbeing. If the environment is clean and full of fresh water and natural resources like trees and vegetation the it will also help to boost our wellbeing.
Living in natural environments has been proven to be more beneficial to our wellbeing than enhanced and developed environments. Because natural environment has more natural resources which are good for our health. Whereas in developing or developed environments you find all type of pollution such as automobiles and factories.
There are a good number of ways that pollution can affect our health. Humans need to breathe good air in other to remain healthy but the coming of companies and factories has contributed to the pollution of the air in our environment thereby resulting to poor health or health problems.
In addition, when waste is poorly managed it most times end up in rivers and natural water sources which are meant for mans consumption. When water is contaminated, even the animals that live in it suffer and as such there is less production of quality fish for human consumption posing a health risk.
For me personally some of the simple actions I take every day to promote environmental health is to care for my environment:
Cleaning my surroundings: this involves picking everything that’s not natural and disposing of them properly for recycling. Materials such as plastics, aluminum that are found around. Because these materials can have a bad impact on the surrounding environment because it contaminates the soil and makes it unproductive since they are non biodegradable.
Planting of trees and flower: planting of trees and flowers has been one of the ways in which I take care of the environment because these trees and flowers help to produce quality temperatures necessary for human health. Trees also act as shelter and as a means to protect the soil from erosion.
I think education and awareness can play a huge role in promoting environmental health in the sense that if more people are aware of the dangers of misusing the environment it will go a long way to foster change because most people are still ignorant about the importance of taking care of the environment in other to protect and promote the health of everyone.

Like you said, we can learn and teach a lot by working together to make people aware of addiction and to control it easily.
