Whilst not directly on your doorstep, the wider environment could be the town, city, or part of the world, a region and you live in.
Maybe this is hilly, maybe you get lots of rain, maybe it is dry and arid, maybe beside a river, or maybe in a valley or high above sea level.
In a wider context maybe England or Scotland, northern Europe. Regardless of your location, ‘environment’ in the wider context’ it will have a its own characteristics.
Now remember entanglement and place?
Just because the 'wider' environment isn't in a nearby place. Our entanglement with the environment mean we can still impact it.
Maybe your local authority draw water from a reservoir in the next county and the action of irresponsible local company discharges in the local stream that eventually feeds the reservoir.
This as an example how actions in one place are entangled with another place.
