A clean and safe environment is crucial in the attainment of a healthy community. Protecting the health of a
community involves protecting the environment from health hazards. It is more costly for a community to
treat rather than prevent disease. Children must be taught how pollution affects people’s lives. You can reach
out to younger generations and help them to be aware of the proper disposal of waste to prevent pollution.

You have already identified the different environmental issues and their effects on people’s
health. Now, you have to sum up what you have learned.

Activity:Sum it up!
Environmental Effects on the Effects on the
Problems Environment People’s Health

Deforestation

Reflect:
1. What did you feel after doing the activity?
2. Who could be the possible victims of these environmental problems?
3. Do people still have the chance to restore what was lost in the environment?
4. After knowing the effects of these environmental problems, does our environment still have something
to offer to humanity?
5. How can you explain the destruction of the environment to the young and innocent children?
