Environmental Wellness

Environmental wellness is the ability to recognize our own responsibility for the quality of the air, the water, the land that surrounds us, and the people that surround us. The ability to make a positive impact on the quality of our environment, be it our homes, our communities or our planet contributes to our Environmental Wellness. Environmental wellness is about occupying pleasant, stimulating environments that support well-being. Focusing on environmental wellness means that you become aware of the relationships with your habits, actions and interactions and how those can affect and impact the environment you live in.
