SEC-S16 / W4 | "The Environment and Our Health"๐๐ฉโโ๏ธ
I'm always happy when I see contest that concerns health, it's essential for us to keep our environment clean, In other to live healthy, I'm grateful to "Healthy steem" community for organizing this wonderful engagement challenge topic, before I start I'll love to invite @pandora2010 @paholags and @bossj23 to comment on this post, and also drop their entry.
What do I understand by the Word "Environment"? |
---|
According to my understanding, Environment means everything around us. Be it the water we drink, the air we breathe, or the land we walk on, even the animals and plants we see. It also consists of non- living like the man-made buildings, roads and cars etc. One thing we should know is that the environment can affect our way of life, so it's essential to take care of our environment, as we take care if ourselves, because when the environment is clean, the chances of falling sick will be low.
How do our surroundings impact our well-being? |
---|
Do you know our surroundings are at times in-charge of our behavior?. If you ask me how I'll say, when we stay in a quite, clean and peaceful environment, we tend to be very happy at all times, as it calms us down, because the air that we will be receiving will be fresh as well. But if we find ourselves in a dirty, noisy and crowded environment, it adds to our stress and makes us feel uncomfortable and unhappy always. Now you see why I said our environment can at times be in-charge if our behavior, that's why there's this saying I always hear that says "No matter what, always arrange your bed before leaving the house, so that if you end up having a bad day, atleast you would have a well arranged bed to run back to for comfort".
Ways pollution, like air or water pollution, can affect our health? |
---|
Inhaling polluted air can result to diseases like lung problems ( example asthma) or even worst a heart disease. Drink dirty water on the other hand can also cause stomach upset and sickness like diarrhea. There are pollutants in water that can enter our bodies, causing a long-term health problems ( example cancers). This also affects our plants and animals, and by doing this, it makes our meat and vegetables very unsafe for our consumption.
Simple actions we can take every day to promote environmental health? |
---|
- Make use of reusable bags instead of plastic ones when shopping.
- Save up energy by turning off lights and appliances when you are not using them.
- We can store our papers, plastics, glass, and metals and later take them for recycling.
- We should learn to plant trees around our home.
- Reduce your meat consumption to lower carbon footprint.
- Avoid non-useable plastics like straws and some other utensils.
- Participate in environmental cleanup, once every week.
How can education and awareness play a role in promoting environmental health? |
---|
There are people out there who didn't finish school, so they are ignorant of these things, they are people who don't know about the health damage dirty environment causes us, especially people living in the river line areas. But by teaching this locals about the importance of environmental conservation, they can understand the impacts of some of their actions on the environment. This knowledge encourages behaviors suck as conserving water and energy, reducing waste, recycling and encouraging environment cleanup. Lastly, education and awareness brings about a sense of responsibility and stewardship towards our environment, leading to positive environmental outcomes.

Hi friend I really enjoy reading your entry and I have learnt so much from it, caring for our surrounding is very nice, we should try our best to keep it neat always, as we also go to school or people who are in school, the will acquire more knowledge on how the can work to keep our surrounding clean.. good luck to you boss...
Awwn, that's dear for the warmth comment, it shows you took your time to go through my post, and you learnt something from it, i just wish at times posts like this can reach out to people in the rural areas, so they can learn as well ๐
I love the popular saying about the bedsheetโฆ lol.
I will start arranging my bed from now on.
Speaking about, educating people around us, is very necessary. A lot of people always throw waste around the environment and polluting everywhere not minding if people are living there or not. For me, I will say there need to be laws guiding the environment to protect its habitat because education alone canโt help
I'm glad you learnt one thing from my post, when you do the bed stuff for 3 days. Come back and give me your feedback ๐. And indeed yes there is need for the government to implement such laws to protect our environment
Thanks for the warmth comment dear, it means a lot to me .

I can remember when a friend of mine left a PoS stand to another because it was close to the gutter and it was really affecting his health. These debris in the gutters are removed every week but it's always full with wastes and dirty water. Thanks for sharing such a nice content. Try applying bold Markdown style in your content to highlight main points. ....
Thanks for the solid points you added to my post, indeed we should mind the place we live or work in, these dirty gutters are to be avoided as they attract flies and diseases
And thanks for the correction I'll check my markdown style next timeโบ๏ธ
