What is environmental wellness?
It is about respecting and living in harmony with our natural surroundings and Planet Earth.
It is also about appreciating nature and the importance of ecology.
To develop environmental wellness, we need to know that our lifestyle affects the quality of the environment we live in. For example, fresh air, clean water, healthy forest
At the personal level, we need to be more environmentally aware and to develop habits to promote a healthier environment.
The key to environmental wellness is to manage our environmental impact.
With a better environment, we can all live a healthier life.
In Scientific American magazine, Nicholas Robinson and Christian Walzer wrote that:” The health of all life on the planet is connected.
The Covid-19 outbreak starkly reminds us of a basic fact that cannot be ignored.: Human, animal, plant and environmental health and well-being are all intrinsically connected and profoundly influenced by human activities.”
For a start, why not try urban forest therapy offered by NParks Singapore? They even have certified nature and forest therapy facilitators to guide you to enjoy the Japanese art of Shinrin Yoku ( forest bathing)
