of the environment.

mother Earth.
• There are numerous resources that we use in
our everyday lives that we take for granted.

enables us to ensure their prolonged
availability.
8. Reason for Green #5: Preserve our Health

health also.

consumption of energy is beneficial in
providing a healthy environment.
• Plus, healthy options can prevent disease,
improve the quality of our food, water or
even the air that we breathe.

Environment
• Any harm that is inflicted on the environment
