This study looks at how social media affects people's thoughts and actions when it comes to environmental health and understanding in Bangladesh. In the last 20 years, social media sites have become very important for environmental campaigning, having a big impact on how people interact with each other and how policies are discussed. According to data, the number of social media users in Bangladesh rose from about 1 million in 2000 to over 45 million by 2024. At the same time, more material relating to the environment was posted. In 2022, polls showed that 78% of people who answered had seen environmental efforts on social media, and 62% said that they knew more about environmental problems in their own communities. The study talks about campaigns that worked, like the "Clean Dhaka" project, which touched more than 5 million people and got 30% more people to help clean up their communities. In addition, a comparison of participation data shows that posts about environmental health get 35% more interactions than posts about other topics. According to conversations with activists and policymakers, social media is a very important way to get people to support causes, help grassroots groups, and improve contact between people and the government. This study shows that social media has the power to change how people think about the environment and help create a culture of sustainability in Bangladesh. This can lead to better public health and environmental care. The findings suggest that social media environmental campaigns should invest in digital learning programs to maximize their benefits.
