    Week 11 WORKSHEET in MST 102: ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE

    Week No. : 11
    Direction: Answer the following activity. Kindly submit on time.

    A. Open the video clip entitled, “ The Environmental Sustainability”. After watching the video clip,
    make your own reaction on the video presented. Write in not less than five sentences. (10 points)

    Currently, environmental sustainability is a topical issue that receives plenty of attention from the
    media and from different governmental departments.And sustainability is simply everything that we
    need for our survival and well-being, either directly or indirectly from our environment. Sustainability
    creates and maintains the conditions under which humans and nature can exist in productive
    harmony, that permit fulfilling the social, economic and other requirements of present and future
    generations.

    B .Out of Seven (7) Environmental Principles, choose only 3 to discuss and explain its relevance in
    your everyday life. (30 points)

    Nature knows best.


    One natural process that needs serious attention is nutrient cycling. In nature, nutrients pass from
    the environment to the organisms and back to the environment. Any disruption in the cycle can bring
    about imbalance. Our nature knows everything. Sometimes, it knows what is best for us.

    Nature is beautiful and we are stewards of God’s creation.


    Among all creatures, humans are the only ones made in God’s image and have been given the right
    to have dominion over all His creations. Being the most intelligent and gifted with reason, humans
    are capable of manipulating creation to their own advantage. We are made not to rule the world but
    to help the world. Humans are God’s creation and we need to take care of everything.

    Everything changes.
    It is said that the only permanent thing is change. our world is constantly changing and nothing is
    permanent anymore. Even each day humans try to change their living to fit in to the world.

    2. Discuss the following briefly: (30 points)

    a. RA 9003: Philippine ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000.


    -- RA 9003 declares the policy of the state in adopting a systematic, comprehensive and
    ecological solid waste management program that ensures the protection of public health and the
    environment and the proper segregation, collection, transport, storage, treatment and disposal of
    solid waste through the formulation and ...
    b. RA 8749: Clean Air Act of 1999
    --The passage of the Philippine Clean Air Act (RA 8749) on June 23, 1999, provides
    for a comprehensive air pollution control policy, as it outlines the government's measures to reduce
    air pollution by including environmental protection activities into its development plans.

    c. RA 9275: Philippine Clean Water Act of 2004


    The Philippine Clean Water Act of 2004 (Republic Act No. 9275) aims to protect the country's
    water bodies from pollution from land-based sources (industries and commercial establishments,
    agriculture and community/household activities

    C. (20 Points)
    For your Independent Learning or Home Study, make an analysis in line of the following statement:
    “As a youth of 21st century, how could you show your care and love to the environment?”

    Environmentalists are trying to reduce aspects of our lifestyle that are destroying the planet and that,
    of course, is a good thing. However, modern society is built upon layers of environmentally
    destructive materials: plastic, fossil fuels, red meat, etc. The problem won’t be fixed unless
    everybody is part of the solution. People from every corner of the world will need to band together to
    pull us out of the giant dumpster-fire we have made for ourselves. If you scare away anyone who
    dares to gradually adapt their lives towards environmentalism, then the movement will never grow.I
    started with simply paying more attention to the amount of plastic I used in a day. Then I made an
    effort to use as little plastic as possible. Change is constant and will starts within ourself.
