CWU Summer 2021 Wildcat Guide

ENVIRONMENTAL

Environmental wellness means to have a relationship with the environment around you and to push to keep it healthy. This isn’t just the physical world, but the people and hobbies people keep in their lives. I make sure to keep people around that make me feel safe, and help me stay happy. I keep hobbies that push me to better myself physically, mentally and emotionally. - Molly Robertson, 2021 graduate

Environmental Wellness inspires us to live a lifestyle that is respectful of our surroundings. This realm encourages us to live in harmony with the Earth by taking action to protect it. Environmental well-being promotes interaction with nature and your personal environment. Everyone can have a strong environmental conscious simply by raising their awareness.
