What is public health? Students in the UGA Health & Wellness class are here to help you find out! They have strategically identified examples in the Athens community that they feel represent public health in action. This blog is dedicated to explaining, understanding, and discussing what their interpretations of public health, as well as their reactions to learning about topics of health and wellness.
the bus stops are examples of public health because they are provided my the city to reduce co2 emissions and reduce cost for travel for citizens. the bike lanes act in a similar manner in that they take cars off the road. i personally ride a bike and do not have a car. i save a lot of gas, money and emissions by doing this. and with less pollution the whole world is a healthier place. Finally, the trash cans are and example of public health because they allow for a sanitary way to dispose of waste. with out a functional garbage system we would be living in very unhealthy situations.
