ENVIRONMENT (ALUORA)
The environment (Aluora) refers to everything that surrounds us. It includes the air we breathe, the water we drink, the land we walk on, and all living and non-living things that interact with each other. Essentially, it encompasses the natural world and all the elements within it, as well as the built environment created by humans, such as cities, buildings, and infrastructure.
The environment plays a crucial role in supporting life on Earth, providing resources for survival, influencing weather patterns, and shaping ecosystems. It's what we live in and depend on for our well-being and sustenance.
