Environmental Wellbeing
Environmental Wellbeing reflects our degree of awareness and appreciation of the critical role the environment plays in our individual wellbeing; an understanding that humans are part of the environment and not separate from it; that all human activity impacts the environment and can jeopardize the environment’s ability to provide essential services needed to sustain life.
The environment is the basic foundation of individual wellbeing. Often referred to as natural capital, the environment functions and interacts with human systems, social systems, and the built environment. Environmental wellbeing is imbedded within many of the dimensions of the wheel because of people’s continual direct interaction with their physical surroundings. Environmental wellbeing can be maximized by accepting personal responsibility for the conservation of our natural resources, preservation of nature’s beauty and insuring all ecosystem services remain viable.
