Mental Health and Sustainability

The connection between sustainability and mental health is often overlooked. At first glance, they may seem unrelated, one focused on the environment and societal development, the other on human well-being. But the relationship runs deep.

The state of our environment and the way we interact with it affects our mental health, just as our psychological well-being shapes how we engage with the world. A truly sustainable world is one where people can thrive physically, emotionally and mentally. Yet the reality of pollution, climate change and social pressures creates feelings of powerlessness.

Anxiety and depression are rising, and more people are relying on medication than ever before.

This is where sustainable habits matter. When we take small, meaningful actions, whether it is reducing waste, walking in nature, or cooking with fresh, seasonal food, we support not only the planet but also our mental resilience. These choices create a sense of action, helping us feel part of the solution instead of overwhelmed by the problem.

Gut health also plays a role. The health of our digestive system affects the brain and influences mood, stress levels and emotional resilience. Eating well and drinking clean water supports our gut, which in turn boosts our mental clarity and energy to engage with sustainable living. Caring for ourselves from the inside out strengthens our ability to care for the planet.

Kerry Trevett - Sustainable Living Workshops

At Green Solutions Group, we bring these ideas together through our workshops. We show businesses and individuals how sustainable living is not just about reducing carbon impact but about building healthier, more balanced lives. From carbon literacy to preventing burnout, our sessions focus on human sustainability because when people feel well, they make better choices for the planet.

Understanding this connection is essential for both personal well-being and the future of the world we live in. By embedding sustainable, healthy habits in daily life, we can create a culture that supports people and the planet equally.
