Environment

"Environment" is everything that surrounds us. It's the air we breathe, the water we drink and use to wash ourselves; it's the food we eat and the people we interact with. All factors in our environment influence our physical, mental and spiritual health and happiness.

Everything and everybody is connected. You are probably familiar with the expression "a healthy mind in a healthy body". But if that body exists in an environment that is polluted with all sorts of poisons, how healthy can it really be?

When we talk about "environmental issues", we can easily get overwhelmed. The current ecological situation is such that you could ask what does it matter anymore what I do? I'm just a speck of dust on this planet, my actions cannot possibly influence the outcome.

That's where you would be wrong. Because we create our own world. All together. So if we've been able to create the current environmental crisis, we are also able to solve it. And we must. Because each and every one of us needs clean air to breathe, healthy food to eat and clean water to drink.

So take courage and read on. Your actions make all the difference for our common future!
