Environmental Wellness
It is important to lead a lifestyle that is respectful of our environment. Respect for others living in our environment is just as necessary as respect for the physical environment itself. While today’s climate is one of increased environmental awareness, the average person may still be unconcerned or simply uninformed about what he or she can do to help the environment. You don’t have to be a member of an organization to help; an individual can help by simply leading an environmentally conscious life.
Spread the word about environmental wellness. Discuss with your friends the importance of leading a lifestyle that ensures the purity of our water, air and living conditions. Also, if you see someone littering, politely tell that person you do not approve of his or her actions. Get involved with your community’s recycling programs. Implement a recycling program and find ways to conserve paper in your home and at work . Not only will your efforts be rewarding, but they will put you on the right path to environmental wellness.

Transforming a Nazi bunker into the largest solar power plant of Europe
