"Environment Protection: Change To Help"

 


        Environment is our life, it's situation is also our situation. We have been being ignorant towards our environment, we've been being violent, over using and abusing it for how many thousands of years. Now, we are experiencing Climate Change and we have been just notified recently that we might experience its irreversible effect in the incoming years. We often forget how much humans depend on nature. Even city-dwellers living in modern skyscrapers need air to breathe, water to drink, and food to eat, all of which are provided by nature. True, you can buy bottled water and ready-to-eat meals in supermarkets, but they were not produced there.



        To prevent from worsening the situation of our environment, we need to protect and care for it. We need to follow the 3 "R's", Reduce, Reuse and Recycle to conserve natural resources and landfill space. Volunteer to cleanup drives in your community or school. Educate yourself about the environment, know the things that you should do and not to do in the environment. Plant trees because they provide food and oxygen, they are helpful in saving energy, clean the air, and help combat climate change. Conserve water, the less water you use, the less runoff and wastewater that eventually end up in the ocean. Bike more, drive less. Be responsible and cautious to your doings.

    We can start helping the environment to let it survive by helping first our selves to be responsible and make a change in our ways on using it's properties. With the current situation of our environment, it is very evident that people in this planet do not yet understand the importance of environment in our life. We need to understand and have enough knowledge about the environment so that we will going to be cautious with our actions towards it. Again, helping the environment starts with you. Change to help.

“The Right Type of Resilience”

       We Filipinos are known because of our resiliency. Resilience means the capacity to recover quickly from problems or difficulties. The Philippines is very vulnerable to disasters, it is one of the natural hazard-prone countries in the world. The country is highly prone to natural disasters like earthquakes, tropical cyclones, floods, and volcanic eruptions. Destructions of agricultural products, houses, and government properties always happen after a disaster. But Filipinos will try to overcome this suffering and traumatic disaster experience, showing their resiliency.      In an article written by Pamela, she stated that “Every time, the Filipino nation has to endure, brave the chaos, and stand up the next day. It is from this that we’ve grown to be called a resilient nation. Because we have had to become one.” Being resilient is not a bad thing, but we tend to forget that we’re supposed to be striving for something more. What we need to do af...

"Education: A Right and Not a Privilege"

            Many things has been change because of the COVID-19 pandemic that also causes the whole world to shut down. Last school year, schools here in the Philippines did not open and learning happened through online classes and distance learning. As a student, since it’s my first experience to do learning alone in a whole school year, I feel so exhausted and stressed during those times. There are times that I feel like I can’t continue studying anymore, that I can’t finish all my works in time and many more thoughts that made my energy down in the whole school year. I feel bad for myself because I did not adapt all the things that I need to learn that year because of the pressure I felt.          The new normal of learning is really hard for us students because not all of us can access internet or sometimes we have slow connection, and also lack of gadgets to use especially to those students who are expe...
