Hi everyone, it's your girl @missyleo, it's a pleasure to also participate in this week engagement challenge contest in @healthysteem with the tittled: The Environment And Our Health. It's true that health is wealth and we can only enjoy good health if we live in a conducive environment since an environment is a place being occupied by both living and non-living things.

What do you understand by the word environment?

Environment is a place we live and it's surrounded by both living and non-living things. This also included physical, chemical and natural forces.

The environment is the combination of both human and nature that form a space, it means everything that surround us and it's being controlled by human.

How do our surroundings impact our well-being?

Human well-being is greatly influenced by environmental factors, but humans can always affect the environment certainly. Surroundings can certainly influence our mood, that is a compound you live that has enough space with constant electricity light, and the flow of natural air or even good artificial air can definitely improve our health conditions more than the area or compound that does not have all that.

The environment we live in affect our well-being so well, of we don't protect our environment and keep it clean it will turn to a slum, you know slum is full of dirt and toxic substance, from there you will contact some deadly disease that can't be cure.

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

On a norms we can't live without water and air, this two are life server, especially the air we breath in which is oxygen and sent out carbon dioxide.

Our air has been contaminated with vehicles fumes causing air pollution, when we inhale it into our system, it causes diseases.

Water pollution can affect our lives and even threaten our existence. When we don't create good and healthy environment for ourselves it will bring about water and air pollution, then it will result in us developing acute disease such as pulmonary and respiratory disorder.

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

I maintain a good and healthy environment, there are simple and good methods I take to make it clean, these are the methods:

• I disposed of my waste in a proper way

• I clean my house and the surrounding regularly

• I disposed every chemical container I used in my home properly

• I eliminate some plastic and nylon bags that are not useful in my home by burning them

• Waste products from our pets, cat, dog and hen should be disposed in a proper way to avoid food contamination.

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

Proper awareness should be done to educate the public generally on how to promote environmental health because education play an important roles in the environment. Land owners should try and be planting trees in their compound, as this will help in maintaining air quality.

There's need to minimize the use of chemicals as much as possible, like chemical fertilizer, some of this chemicals damages our soil density, rather we should go back to our poultry manure in growing our plants.

Oue environment and our health work hand in hand, they are like 5&6, the way our environment looks like, determines our health in most cases. Let's make it our responsibility to ensure that we maintain our environment in the best way we can.

I will invite my friends @majerius, @chilaw and @shano49 to take part in it.
