Background Information for Learners

 Some changes in the materials are useful to the environment while others are
harmful.
a. Useful: cutting of piece of cloth to be made into handkerchief,
cutting of fabric to be made into clothes, cutting and shaping pieces of
wood/lumber into chair, changing wood into charcoal for cooking.
b. Harmful: burning of old tires and other plastic materials/ trash,
throwing of kerosene and detergents into the sewage, etc…)
 When the material (soil/land) is dumped with garbage of any kind such as empty
bottles, plastics, toxic wastes, chemicals from factories, and others, the
soil/land becomes polluted. Polluted land serves as breeding places for flies,
cockroaches and rats. These pests carry germs that cause diseases, hence
hazardous to one’s health. Growing plants is not also possible in polluted land.

 When the material (i.e. water in the river) is dumped with garbage of any kind
such as empty bottles, plastics, wastes materials from houses, and other
industrial and chemical wastes from factories, the river becomes polluted. If we
drink water contaminated with germs, we are likely to get sickness/diseases.
Polluted water also kills organisms, i.e. fish, water plants, etc.

  When the surrounding air is blanketed with smoke from the factories
and motorized vehicles, ashes and other dust particles, the air becomes
polluted. Polluted air causes skin itchiness, lung infections. Cancer and
other respiratory diseases.
 Some changes in the materials are harmful to the environment. It may
pollute land, water and air. To keep our surroundings clean and to
prevent or minimize pollution in our environment, people are
encouraged to do the 5 R’s (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Repair and Rot).
 Burning of garbage such as plastic materials, rubber, and other wastes
is harmful also to the environment. Many items in household garbage
when burned release dangerous toxic chemicals. These pose health
risks for people particularly those with asthma and other heart and
lung ailments. Because the smoke is close to the ground, it can also
settle on fruits, vegetables and other vegetation that becomes dangerous
to eat for humans and wildlife. The smoke and toxins that enter the air
also contribute to the greenhouse effect and global warming. To
prevent/ minimize the effect of burning of garbage/wastes, waste
segregation should be done, and the 5 R’s should be practiced.
 Cutting down trees is also harmful to the environment. It affects the
quality of air that we breathe. It causes a rapid change in temperature
(the temperature rises to a sometimes uncomfortable level). In addition,
when trees are cut down, rain levels are severely affected (since
moisture in the air could not be retained by the trees). This, in turn,
changes weather patterns, which leads to other environmental
concerns. Cutting down of trees also causes soil erosion. Many animals
native to forests also lose their habitats. Cutting down a tree is
prohibited. To solve the problem on deforestation, planting of trees
(reforestation) should be done.
