Discussion Reflection: Environmental Health and the Local Community

This discussion about environmental health was important to learn and comprehend how

environmental health affects our local communities. I learned that environmental health is a

branch of public health and how the environment around us can positively and negatively affect

us all. Creating and maintaining a healthy environment suitable for living beings and the

universe to thrive is most important to keep us growing and living healthy. If the environment is

unbalanced and hazardous, it can create a plethora of risks in our daily lives. Reflecting on the

assignment I realized the little things that most people do not think about that can be harmful to

the health of the environment and community. Overall, this assignment made it possible to

understand the risks of not fulfilling a suitable healthy environment that can put our community

in vulnerable states.
