Lets Solve Pollution and Improper Waste Management

  The most common environmental problem in a community is Pollution and improper waste management that causes major problems in a community. Some people  in a community especially in the Philippines have a lot of undisciplined people. They like to throw garbage anywhere that effects improper waste management. People also get used to burn plastic because of lack in disposal area that causes pollution. Even Government made a law about it, undisciplined people don’t care about it.

 

       According to Earth Journalism Network, air pollution has long been a problem for the Philippines. Before the lockdown, the Philippines ranked 57th out of 98 countries in IQAir's “World most polluted countries,” as PM2. 5 was recorded at an average of 17.6 micrograms per cubic meter (μg/m3) in 2019. The main effects of Pollution can be long term health effects like lung cancer and heart disease. As a person in a community, we can join to Organization in preventing pollution. We can also join Sangguniamg Kabataan and make a proposal on preventing pollution in a community. We can prevent and lessen pollution by doing a simple things like not burning plastic in our yard.

 


       As a member of a community, I can deny that the number of garbage that thrown in improper way is rising as the time flies by. Improper waste management is one of the most common environmental problem in a community. One of the solutions in preventing this is being disciplined on throwing away our own garbage. We can also prevent this by putting a trash bin in our house. In fact, the Philippines has quite a strong law addressing solid waste. Republic Act 9003, also known as RA 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000, mandates that all open dumpsites must be converted into sanitary landfills by 2004, four years after the law was passed, according to the online news site Eco Business.

 


        As the pollution and improper waste management rises in community, government do their best to lessen it but undisciplined people was just doing their community dirty. We must also cooperate and not just expect on government. We can join to environmental organizations so that we can help to clean our community. We must protect environment before its to late.

               When the pandemic starts, children's right was left behind because of the new protocols. Children just stay at their home in pand e mic start. Children got addicted to the gadgets. They lack of outdoor activities and some are just lying in their bed. After 7 months of pandemic, children continue their classes but in their home. This is a hard type of learning to the children. So for me, the children ’ s right was left behind during pandemic.               With the national theme, “New Normal na Walang Iwanan: Karapatan ng Bawat Bata Ating Tutukan,” this year’s celebration will cover the myriad of issues on children’s rights to survival, development, protection, and participation in the new normal setting, according to official DepEd Site.

The Great Battle of Bataan

          The Battle of Bataan  was fought by the United States and the Philippine Commonwealth against Japan during World War II. The battle represented the most intense phase of the Japanese invasion of the Philippines during World War II. In January 1942, forces of the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy invaded Luzon  after the bombing of the American naval base at Pearl Harbor. The Day of Valor, officially known as “Araw ng Kagitingan”, is a national observance in the Philippines which commemorates the fall of Bataan to Japanese troops during World War II. It falls every April 9. We must celebrate this because it shows the  bravery of Filipinos during World War II. They use their brave to protect our country from the enemies. Celebrating the independency of our country is a good move for us. We can show our patriotism by celebrating how the Filipinos defend our country. We must also remember the Filipinos who gave their life just to defend and ...
