Environmental Resources
Environmental well-being is about how our surroundings influence our quality of life. It involves recognizing our responsibility for maintaining the quality of our air, water, and Earth itself. It also focuses on the social environment---our respect towards others with diverse backgrounds & perspectives and fostering spaces where we can freely exchange ideas and information. With the care taken to nurture these aspects, we contribute to a healthier life and a more harmonious world for all.
