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 and 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.

Cigarette FiltersWe have all seen discarded cigarette ends outside buildings, and along streets, perhaps not realising the global problem they cause. Almost all Cigarette filters are a combination of a type of PLASTIC (cellulose acetate) and toxic tobacco remnants. The PLASTIC in the filter itself is NON-Biodegradable waste. [Eventually UV rays from the sun break the plastic into smaller microplastics that can find their way into the food chain, via oceans and marine life]. As long ago as October 2015 ,The World Health Organisation stated …. this waste may also prove to be a significant environmental contaminant and potential human health hazard through bio-accumulation in the food chain. |
