health

Climate Change isn’t good for our health, modern living (eg pollution, lack of exercise, work-related stress and unhealthy food) has created a whole host of illnesses, like asthma, cancers, allergies and obesity issues.

So try leaving the car at home and walking to shops, or cycling to work, at least once a week. Eating a more balanced diet rich in fruit and vegetables which are in season and possibly local, will benefit the state of your health, as well as the environment.

Basic requirements for health are good housing,positive relationships, fresh air, and clean water, healthy land and food - we can’t take these for granted, we need to act to protect and maintain them.

There are dangerous chemicals in ordinary household cleaning items, (check Home & Garden section ) so keep it simple and ask questions about the ingredients in shops.
