L E S S ON PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT Protecting the environment starts with personal responsibility and social consciousness. Personal environmental responsibility refers to the awareness of one’s roles in keeping a healthy community and environment. Social consciousness refers to the awareness of what is currently happening around you and being able to critically reflect on how to respond to them. Below are examples of ways to protect the environment. Practice proper waste management. Do not contribute to the pollution in the environment. Minimize wastes. If they cannot be prevented, ensure that wastes are properly disposed or managed using the 5Rs strategy. Do not perform activities that may damage or destroy the environment. When you travel, leave as little trace of yourself as possible. Do not carve names on trees or write graffiti on rocks. Keep things in their natural environment. Never take things away from nature. This may disrupt the ecological balance in the environment. Do not pick flowers or plants. Do not take animals or other objects from the environment. If going on a nature trip or visit, stay on trials. Trials are man-made paths assigned to protect people from harm. These paths are also made so that the environment remains undisturbed and protected from possible harmful activities of people. Stay informed about current environmental issues and problems. Listen to news or read relevant materials. Initiate actions that promote the protection of the environment. Start with consistently practicing healthy ways such as planting trees or growing plants, regularly cleaning your area, and others. Encourage other people to take part in the efforts to protect the environment. Share the information you learned from this unit. Make them aware of the environmental concerns and problems so they may realize the impact to people’s health. Participate in local and national efforts for the protection and preservation of the environment. Support these programs and projects by attending or donating to their causes. Spearhead environmental projects. Be a health advocate for the environment. Organize a small project or program that will address a specific environmental concern.
SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
The main cause of land pollution is improper solid waste management. Solid waste are discarded materials such as paper, plastic, wood, metal, food rubber, electric materials, and other objects. Waste management refers to the collection, handling, and disposal of wastes. These wastes are brought to a landfill. A landfill is a place where solid wastes are dumped in layers that from a mountain-like structure. Landfills are home to disease-causing organisms that may contaminate the land, air, and water. To practice solid waste management, the following procedures must be followed.
a. Proper Disposal Proper disposal is described as the responsible removal and transfer of wastes. An example of proper waste disposal practice is waste segregation. It is defined as a means to divide the waste into different classifications. There are plenty of reasons why waste segregation is important. Some wastes are biodegradable. This means that they decompose and disappear in the environment naturally. Materials that do not decompose easily are called non-biodegradable. If wastes are segregated into these two types, the recycling rate increases and wastes will decompose easily. Waste segregation facilities garbage collection. Waste segregation allows the person to properly manage wastes. Some wastes may still be reused or recycled for other purposes. If waste are segregated, there is less cost in the disposal system. Hazardous wastes from hospitals and manufacturing industries. These are wastes from hospitals and manufacturing industries. If they mix other wastes, they might cause contamination. b. Use of 5Rs Instead of disposing the waste, there are other things that you can do to properly manage them. There ways are represented by the acronym 5R. This stands for: refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rot. Refuse means avoiding accumulating wastes. Reduce means minimizing the wastes. Reuse means using the same material for the same purpose. For example, softdrink companies buy back empty bottles to be used again instead of manufacturing new ones. Recycle means turning wastes into another material for another purpose. Rot includes the process called composting. Composting is using biodegradable materials as fertilizers for plants. Biodegradable materials provide nutrients when they decompose.
Part of social consciousness is being aware of the policies and laws that protect the environment. It is the Department of Environment and Natural Resources that enforces the environmental laws and spearheads the programs that aim to protect and preserve the environment. Republic Act No. 9003 also known as Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000. This law requires the local government units( barangays ) to conduct segregation and collect solid wastes. There is a mandate to classify wastes as biodegradable, compostable, and reusable.
Republic Act No. 8749 also known as The Philippine Clean Air Act of 1999. This law states that the government shall promote and protect the environment and people from air pollution. Any person, group, or company found guilty of being air polluters shall be fined.
Republic Act no. 9275 also known as The Philippine Clean Water Act 2004. This law regulates the water quality management of the bodies of water in the country. It enforces the standards and policies on water quality. It also penalizes a person, group, or company guilty of water pollution. Republic Act No. 6969 also known as Toxic Substances & Hazardous and Nuclear waste Act of 1990. This law establishes rules and regulations on proper disposal and management of hazardous chemical wastes.
Republic Act No. 7942 also known as The Philippine Mining Act of 1995. This law regulates mining activities in the country. It promotes rational exploration of mineral resources but with consideration to the environment and people living in the communities to be affected.
Republic Act No. 9175 also known as Chain Saw Act of 2002. This act regulates the ownership, possession, sale, and importation of chain saws in the country. Chain saws are used in deforestation activities. Any unauthorized person caught in possession of this equipment shall be penalized.
