Trying to live a healthy life has many different elements, including diet, fitness levels, health and hygiene, all of which can have a big impact on your wellbeing. One of the factors that you may not often consider, however, is the environment.
The world in which we live is gradually being polluted, and this poisoned atmosphere is something which we all live in on a daily basis and expose our bodies to. The environment can have both a positive and negative effect on your wellness so it is extremely vital that everybody does what they can to protect it. Fortunately there are a few simple things that you can do to help preserve the environment and ensure that the world we live in is clean and healthy.
Global warming is one of the most serious problems affecting the environment and, consequently, our wellness. Buying fuel efficient cars is one way that you can fight against this. Fuel efficient cars release less carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, which is helpful because burning gas is one of the leading contributors to global warming. On this same theme, carpooling can help the environment. This means sharing a car with somebody else that is making the same journey as you, in order to reduce the number of cars on the road and, therefore, the CO2 output into the atmosphere. Using public transport can also be another way to combat this issue.
Home insulation is another good way to help protect the environment, as it stops heat from escaping from your house and you then don’t have to use as much heating as you would have otherwise. This can also save your family a lot of money!
Planting a tree can help to protect the environment too as trees absorb CO2.
The ozone layer can also be protected in a number of ways, such as reducing the use of aerosols, which contain deadly CFCs, and avoiding the purchase of polystyrene which also has destructive CFCs in it.
