Environmental Health “Helps bring attention to the present and future environmental issues facing the health of our planet and the people it supports.” (E.N.N.)

Climate

The long term weather patterns of a specific area.

Wildlife

Wild animals living in their natural environment.

Agriculture

The practice of cultivating the soil, producing crops, or raising livestock.

Energy

We need it to move things. We get it from various sources.

Ecosystems

Interaction of people, animals, and plants within the environment.

Pollution

When the environment is contaminated by harmful substances.

Land, Air, and Water can be contaminated… Land pollution: Littering, run off, natural disasters (tsunami) Air pollution: burning of fossil fuels, smoking, natural disasters (volcanic eruptions) Water pollution: acid rain, natural disasters (hurricanes), run off

What can WE do???

Green Building

Reducing harmful effects on the environment during construction and demolition activities.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Alternative Energy Sources Hydro (water power) Wind power Solar power
