Health is important to everyone. Our lifestyles today however, have become skewed towards inactivity and poor nutrition. We cannot hide behind the rising obesity levels in the UK. Furthermore, the vital relationship between the environment and our health is often neglected.

It is ironic that many of the products we use emit huge amounts of harmful CO2 into the environment while at the same time, making us less healthy. For instance, our health could be vastly improved if we biked or walked more, leaving the car at home. Our health is also sacrificed by using harsh cleaning products at home, which are thought to be linked to asthma and allergies.

What is the impact of the food we eat on our health and the environment? How much harmful CO2 was emitted into the environment for those blueberries in our fridge, which were imported from Chile? Do you know what harmful pesticide and anti-biotic residues are in your food? We have greener options available to us.

The environment and our health are closely linked. By making greener decisions, our health and the environment will benefit as a result.
