1. Research on the different environmental protection initiative both locally and globally.

A. Local environmental protection

1. REPUBLIC ACT 9003 ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT ACT OF

2000

In partnership with stakeholders, the law aims to adopt a systematic,

comprehensive and ecological solid waste management program that shall
ensure the protection of public health and environment. The law ensures proper
segregation, collection, storage, treatment and disposal of solid waste through
the formulation and adaptation of best eco-waste products.

2. REPUBLIC ACT 9275 PHILIPPINE CLEAN WATER ACT OF 2004

The law aims to protect the country's water bodies from pollution from
land-based sources (industries and commercial establishments, agriculture and
community/household activities). It provides for comprehensive and integrated
strategy to prevent and minimize pollution through a multi-sectoral and
participatory approach involving all the stakeholders.

3. REPUBLIC ACT 8749 PHILIPPINE CLEAN AIR ACT OF 1999

The law aims to achieve and maintain clean air that meets the National
Air Quality guideline values for criteria pollutants, throughout the Philippines,
while minimizing the possible associated impacts to the economy.

4. REPUBLIC ACT 6969 TOXIC SUBSTANCES, HAZARDOUS AND NUCLEAR

WASTE CONTROL ACT OF 1990

The law aims to regulate restrict or prohibit the importation,

manufacture, processing, sale, distribution, use and disposal of chemical
substances and mixtures the present unreasonable risk to human health. It
likewise prohibits the entry, even in transit, of hazardous and nuclear wastes and
their disposal into the Philippine territorial limits for whatever purpose; and to
provide advancement and facilitate research and studies on toxic chemicals.

5. PRESIDENTIAL DECREE 1586 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT

(EIS) STATEMENT OF 1978 

The Environment Impact Assessment System was formally established in

1978 with the enactment of Presidential Decree no. 1586 to facilitate the
attainment and maintenance of rational and orderly balance between socio-
 economic development and environmental protection. EIA is a planning and
management tool that will help government, decision makers, the proponents
and the affected community address the negative consequences or risks on the
environment. The process assures implementation of environment-friendly
projects.

B. Global environmental protection

1. Exploring the environment, agriculture and food security.

Canada World Youth (CWY) created the Africa-Canada Eco leadership

program for young Africans and Canadians, ages 17 to 24. Through participation
in environmental and community development initiatives, participants learn to
tackle difficult environmental problems in their home country.

2. Greening computer waste.

In 2006, Greenpeace launched an on-line campaign to force electronics

companies to stop making products that contain harmful chemicals. Greenpeace
demanded that, starting in 2007, all new Apple products be free of the worst
toxic chemicals in the production process and products themselves.

3. Building sustainable fisheries in Cuba.

In 2004, the World Wildlife Federation (WWF) worked with the Ministry
of Fisheries of the Republic of Cuba to establish a modern sustainable fishery in
Northern Villa Clara.

4. Combating desertification in the Sahels.

The Agrhymet Regional Centre (ARC) in Niamey, Niger conducts research

and training in nine Sahel countries. The goal is to make people in this region less
vulnerable to climate change and to protect the environment

2. Create a list of home or community initiative that can be beneficial to the environment.

As a student, there are a lot of things which I can do to protect the environment.
Even on the simplest thing I do can contribute big impact to save the mother earth. Here
are some lists of the things I can do that can be beneficial to the environment:

 Turn off appliances and lights when not in use.

  Conserve water to avoid water shortage.
 Avoid the using a lot of plastics like cellophanes and straws. Instead, use reusable
bags and straws.
 Use products that can be recycled.
 Plant more trees.
 When going somewhere near, instead of using motorcycles and cars, we can use
bicycles or walk.
 Do some garden in open space in your home.
 Use water bottles to lessen plastic use.
 Join in some organization which helps in cleaning the environment.

Noted on your write up, here’s another set of activity for this online session.

1. How the changes in our environment are affecting us?

Here are some changes in our environment affecting us:
 Nature can encourage or dishearten cooperation among individuals (and the ensuing
advantages of social help). For instance, an intriguing space with agreeable seats and
security can urge a family to remain and visit with a patient.
 The nature can impact people groups' conduct and inspiration to act. For instance, a
grimy passage loaded up with additional medical clinic hardware will welcome staff to
leave another thing in the lobby, though a perfect hall and sufficient stockpiling will urge
staff to set aside the effort to take care of the thing.
 Nature can impact disposition. For instance, the consequences of a few research studies
uncover that rooms with splendid light, both regular and fake, can improve wellbeing
results, for example, discouragement, fomentation, and rest.

2. What are ways we can help to protect the environment? (individual, community, global)

a. Individual
 Print as Little as Necessary
- Utilizing so much paper is impeding to the earth.
 Use a Reusable Beverage Containers
- Rather than purchasing exclusively bundled beverages, consider
purchasing a mass compartment of the refreshment you need and
purchasing a reusable water bottle. Not exclusively will this assistance the
earth, yet it will likewise enable you to set aside cash since you are
purchasing a mass compartment.
 Don’t Throw Your Notes Away
 - If you took great notes, ask your teacher to connect you with students
in a future class so that you can give them your notes. These notes will
help students by being able to read what they are learning in the words
of another student. It is beneficial to read things that are worded
differently than what the teacher said. You may need to find a student on
your own, depending on the teacher’s load for the semester.
b. Community
 Use Reusable Bags
- Plastic basic food item type sacks that get tossed out end up in landfills
or in different pieces of nature. These can choke out creatures that stall
out in them or may confuse them with nourishment. Likewise, it takes
some time for the packs to break down.
 Recycle
- Recycling is such a basic activity, yet such a large number of individuals
don't do it. Another approach to recycle is to search for recycling jars
close trashcans. Rather than tossing recyclables in the waste with your
non-recyclables, try to make an additional move to find reusing jars
around your grounds.
 Avoid Taking Cars or Carpool When Possible
- Cars are unsafe to the earth. Taking public transportation, strolling, or
riding a bicycle to class are better choices that help the earth and your
financial limit, just as getting some activity in.
c. Global
 Save Electricity
- Use vitality proficient lights rather than ordinary bulbs. They last more,
which will spare you a touch of money. Make you mood killer lights, the
TV, and different apparatuses when you are not utilizing them. Lower
your cooling or warmth when it's a bit much.
 Save Water
- Water is wasted more often than we can see. Turn off the faucet as you
are brushing your teeth. Try not to turn your shower on until you're
prepared to get in and wash your hair. Farthest point your water
utilization as you wash dishes. Changing old tendencies will be useful for
both nature and your wallet.

3. How can we rehabilitate the environment to stop its degradation?

  Our planet is the most significant thing in the majority of our lives, paying little respect
to what our identity is. Counteracting natural debasement is an adventure that we should all
participate in. Keeping our planet clean for future ages is one of the most significant things we
can do with our restricted time here, so our youngsters' kids can appreciate what we had.
Disintegration is a significant piece of the Earth's cycle, yet the individuals who couldn't care
less much about the earth itself have overlooked that, as well. Air, soil and water are our most
valuable assets, and we just can't bear to lose them. Without these three assets, we would
ward.

 Reduce Our Over All Consumption of Resources

Our regular assets that the planet gives us are constrained, however numerous
individuals appear to overlook that. On the off chance that we chop down our utilization by at
any rate 70%, consider the amount we could spare. This incorporates chopping down trees to
make paper and different materials that we need, just as petroleum derivatives, for example,
oil, to fuel our vehicles and keep our enterprises moving. There are numerous organizations
who have officially done the change to make strides toward environmental friendliness to chop
down their overall asset utilization, for example, control, which each organization ought to
consider doing. Our untamed life and verdure depend on their regular habitat, and on the off
chance that we hold tearing it down to serve our needs, we will have nothing left.

 Reuse All the Resources and Materials That We Possibly Can

Recycled utilization is unquestionably looked downward on, most likely in light of the
fact that we realize that for what we use, we'll have all the more in the long run. Be that as it
may, this won't be the situation for eternity. When something runs out, we will always be
unable to recover that asset. In the event that individuals start reusing explicit things, ecological
debasement will be significantly decreased. We as a whole should recollect that we don't utilize
the things that were once utilized before us, which is a frightening idea in itself.

 Recycle What We Can, Whenever We Can

Reusing is the most ideal approach to hinder ecological corruption, and is something
that everybody ought to share in. In the event that we need to spare the planet and take on
this mission together, reusing the most ideal approach to battle natural debasement together.

 Green Transportation

In the event that we as a whole rode bicycles as opposed to driving autos, we could
battle contamination effectively. Autos and different vehicles discharge contamination into the
air, which just aims the moderate, savage procedure of condition debasement to accelerate,
and cut our time on this planet considerably shorter. Not exclusively would the air be so much
cleaner on the off chance that we as a whole picked green transportation, for example, bicycle
riding to get to where we as a whole need to go for the duration of the day, yet after some time
we would all be fit as a fiddle. Addressing the requirements of everybody, particularly our
planet, with regards to green transportation is so significant, and among perhaps the most ideal
approaches to battle conditions debasement.

 Give Back to the Environment

The most ideal approach to help counteracts natural corruption, is to offer back to the
earth. You can do this effectively by planting three trees for each one that is chopped down for
the ranger service industry. With regards to the planet's trees, you can never have enough.
Trees give us clean air to inhale, they actually channel out the awful and siphon out the great,
which is the reason we'd never make do without them. Keeping our timberlands alive are
critical to our environment, however to the untamed life arrangement of the world also, in light
of the fact that it's their home. At the point when the evolved way of life is influenced, we as
people are altogether influenced.
