Community Health Starts with a Healthy Environment

When people think about community health they usually think about healthcare services and exercise.. Community health is also about the air we breathe and the water we drink. The environment around us plays a role in how healthy we are.
Clean air and safe drinking water are necessary for our health.. Sometimes the things that can hurt us are not easy to see. There can be things in our water and air that can make us sick. This is why it is important for communities to know about the environment and to test for things.
Air pollution is a problem for community health. When we breathe in air it can hurt our lungs and hearts. It can also make us feel sick and tired. The air inside our homes and schools can also be bad for us.
Water is also very important for our health. If our water has things in it like lead or bacteria it can make us very sick. So it is necessary to test our water to make sure it is safe.
If we know about the things in our environment we can do something about it. We can make our air and water cleaner. That makes us healthier. This helps us have families and safer neighborhoods.
It is also important to learn about the environment. When we know about the things that can hurt us we can do something to stop them. We can learn how to make our environment cleaner and healthier.Some people can help us with this. EnviroTesters is a group that gives us information about our environment and how to make it cleaner. They can teach us about the things in our air and water and how to make them better.
We need to keep learning about our environment (envirotesters.com) how to make it healthier. This is not about the environment. It is about our health. When we have an environment we have healthy communities.. That is good for everyone.
To learn more about community health and the environment we can visit EnviroTesters Environmental Resources.
