Electricity is generated through the use of coal.  This has a wide range of negative effects on the environment as well as the individuals living within it.  Coal is a major source of pollution, so when we use more energy, we use more coal, thus releasing more pollutants into the atmosphere.  These pollutants can have many negative effects on the environment such as causing disease, climate change, and many other issues.

Practicing gratitude helps a person to see what is good in their life.  In making themselves aware of what is going well in their life, a person is  able to focus on the good things and avoid thinking about the bad.  This will therefore make a person have an overall better opinion of their life and how it is going.
