Our Health is directly effected by our environment and vise versa. EnviroHealth terms our relationship with our world and each other. 

In my neighborhood, people don't speak much to each other but many have someone come and do their yard work. Seems like every day is a different yard. I can hear the mowers, the blowers and the spraying.

I am able to smell the neighbors fumes from their toxic morning rituals.  From baby powder to aftershave. 

We all live in a community no matter where or how big we are all affected by each others actions and relations.

Plants are required for us to exist. They are our oxygen, our food, our clothes, our homes, and they surround us with beauty. Many plants even purify our air.

One dryer sheet can ruin an entire day for an entire neighborhood and no one will have a clue of what the hell happened. Many will reach for the aspirinibuprophen or acetaminophen (which is known to cause liver damage and warns against using alcohol while taking this drug).
