WASTE MANAGEMENT

Our waste our responsibility. Let us help improve our environment because at the end of the day we still depend on it. Let us learn to practice proper waste segregation. The biodegradable, non-biodegradable and hazardous wastes such as paints, batteries, solvents, cleaning agents and pesticides should be properly separated. The 3R (reduce, reuse, recycle) is a helpful way to lessen waste problems. Burning plastic is not a solution, it is an addition which affects the atmosphere causing another problem. Proper waste disposal is not only for our environment but for us as well.

In every household there should be proper segregation of waste which separating biodegradable, non-biodegradable and hazardous. Also practice the 3R (reduce, reuse, recycle).

Water Pollution

Respect marine life. Once we take we must give back. Rivers, lakes, sea and ocean are some of the important things in our environment and some of these are our scenery/tourist spots. In this generation we all know that we are suffering from water pollution specially in the cities. There are a lot of rivers that are polluted by the chemicals and it all came from the factories, sewage and etc. that is caused by people and their disregard to a healthy environment.

If we continue this kind of behavior many organism will be affected like fish, crabs, and particularly humans, we are all affected by this water pollution.

As humans living on earth we need to stop this kind of pollution, we need to become a responsible dweller on earth.

To prevent water pollution at home we must use environmental-friendly household products and dispose toxic products with care. Instead of throwing garbage in the sea make use of compose pit in your community, in doing such we can avoid water pollution so we can achieve a healthy life.

Smoking

Give care to our air. Smoking causes many diseases and kills a person who smoke twelve years sooner than a non-smoker. World wide tobacco causes 5 million deaths annually, according to the World Health Organization. It also harm non-smokers who are exposed to second-hand smoke (second-hand smoke is a combination of the smoke from the lit end of the cigarette and the smoke exhaled by the smoker). Second-hand smoke goes to our atmosphere and degrades air quality. Cigarette butts can harm or kill children and animals if ingested and improper disposal of cigarette or cigarette butts damages our environment.

To secure a healthy lifestyle, stop smoking. One way to avoid this habit is to engage yourself to healthy activities.

Deforestation

One tree one life. The whole world is being affected by deforestation. Deforestation is destroying of forest and trees. Our environment provides habitat for us, animals, and plants but because of deforestation the shelter of those living things especially those who depend on trees is being destroyed. Deforestation cause extinction changes to climate conditions, desertification and displacement of population as we observed.

Trees can help our environment in many ways some of those is it gives us fresh air and we can manufacture it into products like paper, pencil, and some furniture, but if we cut them and not plant them, the things that it provides us now will probably not be anymore in the future. Cutting trees effects our environment and to us badly.

For the awareness of all, we need to minimize cutting trees to save our earth. Nowadays we experience a lot of calamities because we lack trees to absorb floods. To overcome such we need to plant trees in our surroundings and avoid deforestation instead practice reforestation .

Global Warming

Our Mother Earth is the most significant to all living things and non-living things. Nowadays, global warming is getting worse, because of us humans. Some of the causes are deforestation, burning plastics, and smoke from factory that causes air pollution and affecting the atmosphere. If we don't act now, when? If not us, who?

The biggest contribution that you can give to lessen global warming is to SPEAK UP! Make a first move within your family and friends by discussing this issues, and make sure they are making better decisions. Also you can voice out your concern via social media or other means of communication that you care about the world.
