Wellmed Environmental Environmental wellness is a sense of comfort and interconnectedness with your surroundings. It is achieved by interacting with your surroundings in a way that optimizes the wellbeing of an individual and the community. Recycling, conserving energy, and reducing food and packaging waste are some sustainable practices that contribute positively to the health of the planet. Spending time in nature can further promote one's mental and physical health. By increasing awareness of our impact on the environment, we can each contribute positively to environmental wellness. Whether prioritizing sustainability when organizing student events or setting up group trips to explore local parks and hiking trails, WellMed aims to cultivate respect and appreciation for our planet.
