The quality of the environment directly impacts the physical and mental health of community members. Green spaces and access to nature reduces stress levels and improves overall well-being. Communities with cleaner air, water, and soil tend to have healthier populations, which in turn fosters a stronger sense of community as people are more likely to engage in social activities and community events.

Taking a walk helps boost my mood and energy. I enjoy looking at the water. Less buildings could make my walks more enjoyable.
