The Betterment of Our Environment is in Our Hands

          Environmental Awareness Month is November because of the Republic Act No. 9512. The law talks about the role of natural resources in economic growth and the importance of environmental conservation and it shall be done through environmental education. Department of Environment and Natural Resources(DENR) also promoted that November will also be the "Clean Air Month". DENR lined up activities for both of the said celebration. The Secretary of Environment and Natural Resources Ramon J.P. Paje said that the activities for the nationwide celebration will "ensure that the seed of environmentalism will be planted and nurtured and become a way of life for the most,if not all, Filipinos."

          Everyone is aware that our environment is dying day by day. We are now experiencing climate change, drought, melting of the glaciers, and a lot more. There is no one to blame here but us, humans, God gave us this beautiful planet for us to make it better not to destroy it. But what are we doing? We are destroying it day by day that causes it to die. I think God made a mistake of creating humans because animals can make this place better rather than us, humans.
          Pollution is the number one cause of climate change. It affects land, water, and air. We are affected by it, but you know who is more deeply affected? The animals, the animals who did nothing but to help our environment to grow more. There are a lot of ways to stop contributing to pollution just like limiting the use of plastic, instead of using plastic just use reusable bags. Also, limit the use of vehicles. These simple ways will help the environment and will also help us improve our lifestyle.
          The Environmental Awareness Month serves as an education for us to know what is happening to our environment. This is a sign for us to stop the things that is destroying our environment. We should stop destroying it instead we should love and cherish it. God made us so that we protect his creations, he gave this to us to have everything we need. There is no another environment that will provide food for us. We should not be greedy because it will destroy our environment.
