You may not know this but every of your action directly or indirectly impacts the environment. And a healthy environment reduces the chances of risk. Some global issues like flooding, climate change, pollution etc. are a result of indiscriminate physical activities of humans over the years.
Let us drill down to how a healthy environment has you at the centre of it. How are you in your space contributing to the alleviation or degeneration of environmental issues? For instance, if there was no land to cultivate, famine and hunger will encroach the society.
Likewise, if there was no man to see to the affairs of land use, industrialization and the potential of the earth will remain untapped. So now we see that the constant interaction between man, other living things and the environment is what ensures the continuity of life.
According to Friends of the Environment – an NGO in Nigeria, “A clean and hygienic environment is very essential to healthy living. Therefore, we must protect and keep it safe to ensure nature’s balance on the earth.”
When we consciously or unconsciously threaten this interaction, there is a disruption in the relationship between us, other living things and the ecosystem which in turn causes some global issues mentioned earlier. However, one by one we can all ensure we are doing the right thing in our space to ensure a healthy and safe environment.
No matter how big the issues appear globally, your positive contribution (no matter how small) counts in bringing about lasting solutions to these issues over time.
