What emanates from the environment proclaims itself through the effect it has on the inhabitants.

A healthy and pleasant environment is most likely to make the inhabitants very comfortable and peaceful while an unhealthy environment may make the inhabitants uneasy, uncomfortable and aggressive, which in turn could translate to chaos within the community.
