Explanation:
so someone with health education may learn about some positive and harmful effects about certain foods, habits, practices and way of life that affects us.
for example there are some things in fast food that are not healthy to eat, and with population growth the next generation may also eat fast food which is not healthy which may affect a great number of people for the next generations to come.
environmental degradation
something that negatively affects the environment,
such as over harvesting/consumption of something and it doesnt have enough time to grow back or replenish;
example, salmon that is only found in the south river of china is over fished and now has gone extinct, the local people and animals are now affected, because the animals in the area relied on the fish to survive.
pollution; affecting the air, water, food and can also cause health problems for the inhabitants(species living there) of the habitat(environment/area)
deforestation; cutting down forest area to build homes may cause animals losing their habitat, forcing migration(moving to find a new home) and may cause extinction (population dies, none left)
so a person with health education becomes conscious towards the problems of population grown and environmental degradation because
with challenges of the GROWTH OF THE POPULATION is there enough food supply for everyone to be HEALTHY. if there is not enough food supply for everyone, especially if it is being consumed faster than it is being produced
( eating more than it grows, 10 carrots grow a year, 10 carrots are eaten on the first day and there are no more carrots to eat)
that means the ENVIRONMENT is being negatively affected which include everything in the environment, water, plants, sea-animals, humans and land-animals.
if the population keeps growing there has to be enough food for everyone to be healthy
that is why they would be concious
i hope that helps tell me if you need more help
