Start programs to educate the people about the proper way of segregating their trash.
Lessen and discourage the use of coal, burning trash, and burning dry branches from dead trees.
Start a community cleanup which would target cleaning different small bodies of water around
the principality.
Be involved and report any illegal mining that can cause further damage to nature.
2. Suppose a beautiful grove of trees near your house is scheduled to be cut down for a civic project such
as a swimming pool.
2.1 Would you support this?
No.
2.2 Why or why not?
Cutting this grove of trees may affect it negatively as trees can prevent flooding which is a big
problem in our country. It can also be a home for animals and by cutting them, the animals
would be deprived of their natural habitat and in turn would disrupt the nature works.
2.3 Which of the environmentalist described in this moduler best describes your attitude?
I think that Dr. Wangari Maathai’s way of having the people informed, involved, and mobilized to
work together towards the goal of saving the environment is the best way to save the planet.
