| 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 aspirin,
ibuprophen
or acetaminophen
(which is known to cause liver damage and warns against using alcohol
while taking this drug).
