"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 Battle of Bataan: The Bataan Death March"

              The Battle of Bataan happened during the World War II, began on January 6, 1942 and ended on April 9, 1942 as the Bataan troops surrendered. After the Filipino and American Bataan troops surrendered to the Japanese troops, the Bataan Death March happened.   Most of the prisoners(Bataan troops) began the long walk in Mariveles, at the tip of Bataan, and had to march the full 66 miles to the rail head; others joined along the way. The Japanese brutalized their captives during the march north to the trains that would take them to a prison camp. They beat them incessantly, sometimes to move them along, sometimes just for sport. Many of the prisoners were battle worn and incapable of keeping up the grueling pace of the march, especially in the tropical heat and with little water. Those who dropped from exhaustion or sickness, fell behind, broke ranks to fetch water, or tried to escape were bayoneted, shot, or ...

"a moment to remember"

And now, our grade 10 journey is going to end in a few days, which means, junior high school life comes to an end too. It's been a wonderful moment, our beloved junior high school life. Learning, discoveries, improvements, and maturity throughout this phase of life. During the 4th quarter, we were able to have a chance to experience face to face learning again after 2 years of having distance learning. We were able to get that special experience and a wonderful moment for a short time. I was able to enjoy and appreciate the courage, strength and guidance of our teachers during this last quarter. The laughs, stories and short memories we made during this short time moment will truly and forever be with us. We were able to perform and make our own Frontpage during the 4th quarter in ICT with the guidance of our teacher, I was able to enjoy doing it, though we shared many laughs and smiles when we are creating our own front pages. This is it, the last quarter in 10th grade, the last c...

"The Change Starts With You"

For how many years, we have seen how people neglected and ignored their waste, with no proper disposal and lack of responsibility. People's ignorance towards the environment and its effect is now little by little being visible in our sights. The numerous plastics and other waste materials covering rivers, floods in various urban areas because of trash trapped in drainage, and harming different species in land, water and air.  The global effect of neglected wastes and improper waste disposal is very dangerous to our environment and our health. We need to fight this harmful effects for us and our environment to be safe. We can help to combat these problems by simply practicing the proper waste disposal through separating the biodegradable and non-biodegradable materials, the usage of biodegradable materials in daily life, helping different programs and organizations that aims to guide people, protect the environment, and advocates cleanliness in the environment. We can only achieve o...
