Environmental
Environmental wellbeing means leading a lifestyle that values the relationship between ourselves, our community, and the environment. Individual wellbeing is affected by the environments we live in, and we as individuals also have a significant impact on these environments. Cultivating environmental wellbeing requires us to recognize our responsibility to protect the earth and promote lifestyle practices that serve to sustain the natural environment and its resources.
