The environment is everything around us. It includes the air we breathe, the water we drink, the land we live on, and the plants and animals that share our planet.
The environment is important for our survival. We need the air to breathe, the water to drink, and the land to grow food. We also need plants and animals for food, medicine, and other resources.
The environment is also important for our well-being. It provides us with places to play, relax, and connect with nature. It also helps to regulate our climate and protect us from natural disasters.
The environment can be physical, such as the air, water, and soil, or it can be social, such as the culture and customs of a group of people.
