Harmony with Nature

Harmony with Nature

The natural environment includes all living and non-living things that occur naturally on Earth. Our natural environment affects weather, water supply, air quality, vegetation, and more. The environment’s condition directly impacts the health of human bodies and even plays a role in sustaining mental health. The natural environment also contributes to the attractiveness of communities. In community planning, sustainability intersects with the natural environment.

Planning for sustainability includes considerations of:

• land and soil management
• sustainable construction design
• managing waste
• green infrastructure
