Climate change and harm to our environment make people more sick in several ways:
More Diseases: When temperatures go up and pollution increases, more people get sick. This includes problems like breathing issues, heat-related sickness, and diseases spread by insects.
Weaker Immune Systems: Stress from the environment can make our bodies' defenses weaker. This means people are more likely to catch infections.
Not Enough Food and Water: When we run low on resources, it can lead to malnutrition (not getting enough nutrients from food) and diseases from dirty water.
To tackle these problems, we need to:
Change Policies: We need stronger rules about emissions (pollution) and how we handle waste.
Educate the Public: We should help people understand how the environment affects their health.
Invest in Clean Technology: We need to support practices that are better for the environment to prevent more harm.
