1. A poor but loving grandmother with her grandchild. 2. An empty bin with a heap of refuse by the side. 3. A typically crowded community in Africa usually created by deprived nationals in the rural areas drifting into the cities in search of jobs.

Many people would argue that though the Environment we live in, the Health status of the people have some relationship with the state of Development of a nation, Environmental Advocates should not pride themselves as agents of development but concern themselves with issues like De-afforestation, Environmental Degradation, Sanitation difficulties and should not always try to link the environment and health to development and by extension to Politics. They are Wrong. How would people decide to reduce advocacy to this level? Have they asked questions on why almost all United Nation's programs and projects on poverty have linkages with environmental projects, and equitable management of the environment? All these issues afore-mentioned are integral part of factors outlined to measure levels of achievement of the Millennium Development Goals, here particular references are made to eradication of extreme poverty and hunger, reducing child mortality, combating major diseases, and ensuring environmental sustainability.
