With a excellent proposal for this fourth week of challenges, our environment and our health are closely related like this It would be a pleasure to develop the questions raised to address the topic.

What do you understand by the word "Environment"?

The environment is the place where we are and live, it is everything that surrounds us and where we have an interaction with the air we breathe, the ground we step on and the water we consume.

How ​​does our environment impact our well-being?

The environment directly influences our well-being, perhaps even more than what we can see, for example, the smoke from cars, the chemicals distilled by industries... many times they are imperceptible to the human eye but they still affect our quality of life.

If we live in an environment where there is soil contamination, water shortages or dirt, our well-being will be negatively impacted, which is why we must try to care for and maintain our environment so that our health is not affected.

What are some ways that pollution, such as air or water pollution, can affect our health?

Air pollution is one of the most common, especially in cities that are more populated and where industries abound, although currently in my city one condition leads to another. Water pollution seems to be a never-ending evil, starting with the state itself, they are the main polluters of our waters and allowing large vessels to dump garbage directly into the sea, they also allow oil tankers and other industries to dispose of their waste. in the waters.

As urban cleaning is not carried out, many people have chosen to burn garbage and waste, generating air pollution throughout the area, houses fill with smoke and surfaces become dirty, it is a very uncomfortable situation and It worsens the quality of life for everyone, especially for people who suffer from respiratory diseases because even if the doors and windows are closed, the smell of smoke passes into the houses.

On a smaller scale, there is the case in which some people add, for example, oil to drains or throw garbage directly into rivers, however the greatest water pollution comes because the government allows industries to pollute rivers and seas.

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

Recycle, it is the first action, I have it as a habit, I reuse plastic bags and containers, when I go out When shopping I always carry a cloth bag, this way I avoid them putting the items in plastic bags.

I also make crafts with materials that can extend their useful life and I have some crops at home, in this way we can also promote environmental health, of course, having everything clean at home, the yard free of weeds or stagnant water, Using food shells for bushes also reduces the amount of garbage.

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

It is essential that we are educated to have optimal environmental health, creating the habit is very important and through education this can be achieved.

Create awareness in children about the environment and health since in tomorrow some of them will be the next legislators and presidents and if they have good habits and good practices they will surely find a way to care for and maintain our environment.
