it affects our mental thinking and makes us happy
Answer:
Explanation:
Instead of just writing, let me draw it with an example. Flint, Michigan!
According to CNN, (I have not still figured how to add a link with easy addition, so please Google search), in 2014, the Michigan State swiched water supply of Flint Michigan, from Lake Huron to Flint River.
Soon the water in every house started smelling foul and nasty. Tests by EPA and Virginia Tech confirmed of the water loaded with Lead.
Lead poisoning of a human, especially kids can cause heart, kidney, vision, developmental, nervous, cognition, hearing problems and delayed puberty.
Now let us think of the families in Flint. If such problems develop whether for adults or for kids, what would happen? Kids instead of going to school, would be going to hospital to treat chronic diseases. Adults due to the breathing/ heart problems may have to take medical leaves or loss of pay leave to treat the diseases.
Now if kids are developmentally challenged, they are the future citizens, not able to be productive part of the society. A country, society thrives on healthy, happy individuals, family and how they can contribute towards society. So if a whole town or area becomes sick, they are not able to contribute to society, instead society has to take care of them.
All the health problems also lead to emotional problems. Addiction, drinking, suicide can be high as people are under stress not able to provide or take care of their kids. Would that be a healthy/happy life?
We as humans live on this Earth, that supports us giving food, air, and water. Any of them gets contaminated, we the human, who needs all the three gets affected! Period!
So, yes, 'A healthy environment is needed for a healthy and happy life'. Only governments and authorities think otherwise or close their eyes to this fact.
All the very best! Regards,
