Environmental Wellness is the ability to perceive our own particular obligation regarding the quality of the air, the water and the land that surrounds us. The capacity to have a constructive outcome on the nature of our environment, be it our homes, our community or our planet adds to our Environmental Wellness.

Our environment and how we treat it can have a huge impact on the way we feel overall. Environmental well-being includes trying to live in harmony with the Earth by understanding the impact of your interaction with nature and your personal environment, and taking action to protect the world around you. Protecting yourself from environmental hazards and minimizing the negative impact of your behavior on the environment are so critical.

Leading a lifestyle that is respectful to our environment and minimizes any harm done to it is also a necessary component of Environmental Wellness. Examples of environmental threats include air pollution, ultraviolet radiation in the sunlight, chemicals, noise, water pollution, and second-hand smoke.
