Environmentalism
Promoting Health by Protecting the Earth

As naturopaths, we teach that the human body thrives when given what it truly needs: proper diet, pure water, fresh air, sunlight, exercise, and rest. But this can only happen — for ourselves and for future generations — if we have a healthy planet. For us at Clayton College environmentalism is not only a moral imperative, it is as instinctive as breathing.

Practicing Environmentalism

We practice this in our daily lives by conserving natural resources, by recycling materials wherever possible, and by making conscious choices about how we treat the planet. In our catalog and marketing materials, the college uses only elemental chlorine-free and acid-free paper that meets the Forest Stewardship Council’s standards and soy-based inks. We participate in local recycling programs and recycle all paper, cardboard, and ink cartridges.

Teaching Environmentalism

CCNH is committed to promoting stewardship of the planet’s resources by offering coursework in the principles of ecology, organic gardening, and ethical wildcrafting of herbs. Information about the environment runs as a thread through other CCNH courses that focus on diverse topics such as oceans and health, cancer prevention, detoxification, and the fundamentals of nutrition.
