Love for Nature

By the virtue of R.A. No. 9512, November was designated as environmental awareness month. “Everyone needs to be aware of the impact of their actions because the success and failure of environmental programs and the overall condition of our environment lie on small, personal acts that accumulate over time,” Paje said.

The activities will be spearheaded by the DENR’s Environmental Management Bureau (EMB).

Most of the activities on environmental awareness center on climate change and solid waste management (SWM)

The EMB, through the National Solid Waste Management Commission (NSWMC), together with the Solid Waste Association of the Philippines (SWAPP), will also hold the SWAPP Conference (SWAPPCon) 2012 to discuss the effectiveness of SWM by local government units (LGUs) in improving climate change adaptation and mitigation and disaster risk reduction. The event will be held on November 20-23 at the Bayview Hotel in Manila.

Reflection

In the whole first quarter of my grade 10 life, things weren't like how it used to be; it wasn't like my grade 9 days before. I learned that sometimes we also need to study with ourselves without the teacher's guidance so that in the mere future, we can learn and discover things on our own.

At first, it was difficult, I keep thinking I can't cope up with the changes in our new level of education, but then I was challenged. I had the motivation to continue life as it goes and as I face every problem that I encounter.

Through the things that I realized this first quarter, I decided to pay more attention to our classes, take down notes, be more attentive and start reading lessons in advance as well as self-study in case the teacher won't discuss the lessons anymore and surprise us with an unknown quiz.
