The 2016 WHO press release indicated that environmental unsanitary conditions cause 12.6 million deaths per year. This alarming number of deaths is enough to justify the imperative need to fight against any source of insalubrity on a planetary scale. One of the effective strategies for combating any form of insalubrity is the MEEMSAL (an acronym for “Mon Espace d’Evolution Mon SALon”) theory. According to this theory, the eradication of insalubrity and all other forms of anthropogenic pollution must start at school by training learners in eco-citizen education. It is demonstrated in this work that the application of the foundations of the present theory makes it possible to form MEEMSAL generations, some of which will be the future elites and decision-makers of our different nations, which in the long term, will create a healthy environment on a global scale. .展开更多

Thus, this study aimed to assess the practices related to insalubrity at Mombele district in Democratic Republic of Congo. Methods: To get results from this quantitative investigation, we used observation and survey as methods. Yet, a sample of 384 households helped to get results during the period from August 15<sup>th</sup> to October 15<sup>th</sup>, 2020. Results: The insalubrity is almost found everywhere. For respondents, it is seen through wild landfill (37.8%);wastes are thrown anywhere (59.4%);the main reason of this practice is the lack of dustbins (28.3%);the attitude towards insalubrity is positive (52.3%). There is a significant difference between the educational level, occupational categories, monthly incomes and the practice of throwing waste anywhere (p value Conclusion: Throughout the results, we say that the population from Mombele neighborhood hardly fears the insalubrity, because the majority of respondents find normal the practice of throwing wastes anywhere. This practice highlights that they do not fear the consequences that may affect the environment and the human health.展开更多
