Environmental

Environmental Wellness is:

is the ability to recognize our own responsibility for the quality of the air, the water and the land that surrounds 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 Check:

This is a quick check of your environmental wellness.

• Do I recycle?
• If I see a safety hazard, do I take the steps to fix the problem?
• Do I turn the light off when I leave a room?
• Am I aware of my surroundings at all times?
• Is my room cluttered?
• If I see a piece of trash on the floor, do I pick it up?

If you answered “no” to any of these question, you may need to focus on developing this dimension of wellness.
