Environment is simply a conditions that affect the behaviour of a persons or a thing wether it's negative or positive, like they say the environment you leave will determine your character which is why parents don't want their children to grwon up in an unhealthy environment.

The environment you live will determine your character and overall wellbeing

I live in a very peaceful environment where there are many positive impacts that have influenced my life. Living in a military base have really changed my life because they are disciplined enough and respected inside the barracks and I am very happy that I grew up inside tye barracks as the environment have impacted my life in a positive way.

The surroundings we live definitely have impacts on our overall well-being, because when we live with people, we will definitely get along with them, and also we might likely inherit their characters whether it's good or bad.

I remember living in a bad environment full of touts, and they always smoke cigarette and drink different kind of drink, it started disturbing me and I had to leave the environment immediately before I will become part of them.

It's important for us to keep our surroundings clean so we can stay free from disease, so when we leave in a dirty environment it will affect our lives in a negative way and we will become uncomfortable.
So when we leave in a clean and healthy environment we will be very happy and it will have a good impact in our lives.

👩⚕️ What are some ways pollution, like air or water pollution, can affect our health?

Pollution is simply the release of harmful substances into the environment, and when this happens, it will cause problems to our health , and it may lead us to danger.

Air pollution like tear gas and burning of waste can lead to loss of life, especially to asthmatic patients and those who find It difficult to breathe.

Drinking of bad water into our body causes cholera which is very dangerous to our health, and water pollution lead to contamination of water resources, and also we use polluted water to bathe it will lead to skin diseases which is not good for our body at all.

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

By promoting environmental health, I always keep my surroundings clean, and I also organise youth in our area every weekend so we can gather together to keep our surroundings clean so we can live a healthy life.

Environment health is very important because it will make us practice good hygiene and also make us get used to keeping our surroundings and everything around us clean.

I make sure that all waste products in my area are kept in a safer place so as to avoid pollution of any kind, my environment is one of the best in my area and people always commend our hard work.

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

Education and awareness will definitely play a huge role in promoting environmental health because many people don't know about the harmful effects of all causing pollution and how it puts our lives in danger.

So by holding seminars once in a while to let the world know about the importance of keeping our surroundings clean and also maintaining a good environmental health will definitely help in reducing it because many people don't know about it.

In school we have been educated on the healthy importance of maintaining a good and clean environment and it has really helped in reducing pollution and also increases environmental health as many already know about it.
