How does lack of subcutaneous tissue affect someone's sensitivity to cold environmental temperature?
The subcutaneous tissue is the where the adipose tissue resides and offers insulation. Lack of this insulation will cause sensitivity to cold environmental temperatures.
2. Both newborn infants and aged individuals have very little subcutaneous tissue. How does this affect their sensitivity to cold environmental temperature?
Subcutaneous tissue or the hypodermis contains adipose tissues or fats. One of its functions is to insulate (thermal insulation) the body or provides some insulation from cold. Thermal insulation is the reduction of the effects of the various processes of heat transfer between objects in thermal contact. So, subcutaneous serves as the clothing of the human body to maintain the temperature or protection from the cold environment.

What is environmental health education?
Environmental Education (EE) is a process in which individuals gain awareness of their environment and acquire knowledge, skills, values, experiences, and also the determination, which will enable them to act - individually and collectively - to solve present and future environmental problems.EE is a complex process, covering not just events, but a strong underlying approach to society building as a whole. EE provides people with the awareness needed to build partnerships, understand NGO activities, develop participatory approaches to urban planning, and ensure future markets for eco-business.Environmental education is a learning process that increases people's knowledge and awareness about the environment and associated challenges, develops the necessary skills and expertise to address the challenges, and fosters attitudes, motivations, and commitments to make informed decisions and take responsible action (UNESCO, Tbilisi Declaration, 1978).Environmental education enhances critical thinking, problem-solving, and effective decision-making skills, and teaches individuals to weigh various sides of an environmental issue to make informed and responsible decisions. Environmental education does not advocate a particular viewpoint or course of action.The components of environmental education are:Awareness and sensitivity to the environment and environmental challengesKnowledge and understanding of the environment and environmental challengesAttitudes of concern for the environment and motivation to improve or maintain environmental qualitySkills to identify and help resolve environmental challengesParticipation in activities that lead to the resolution of environmental challenges
