Our planet, our health: towards a new way of living life
Written by: Horiens - 07/04/2022
Every year, on April 7th, the World Health Day is celebrated, a date that proposes reflections and actions on issues of priority concern for the WHO (World Health Organization).
In 2022, The global campaign ‘Our planet, our health’ is a true call to expand our connection with the planet, an urgent matter for building a better future for this and the next generations.
“We are part of a whole and today we know how much the sickness of the planet is linked to the cause of disease. Pollution, lack of sanitation for all, and climate change are some of the main fronts that demand relevant advances in order to build healthier societies focused on well-being,” says Laudelino Soares, Director of People Insurance at Horiens.
What are you doing for the health of the planet?
Solutions don’t have to be big or innovative to make a difference. It may sound commonplace, but it is the absolute truth.
Thus, if you have not been doing anything for the health of the planet, now is a great time to start. And if you have already taken some steps, take the opportunity to broaden your action and motivate others in this mission!
Here are some practical tips:
1 – Separate the garbage in your home and encourage your family and friends to do the same.
2 – Practice conscious consumption.
3 – Use shared means of transportation in your routine.
4 – Avoid wasting resources essential to life.
5 – Take care of your mental health. Our actions are born in our thoughts!
Remember: whatever you do for the planet, you are also doing for yourself and your health!
