 ACTIVITIES THAT EXEMPLIFY CARE FOR THE ENVI
Lesson (HUMSS_MCT12Ih-i-1)

1
This lesson will highlight the simple ways list of activities on how we are going to
take care of our environment. There are no other creation who will take care for our
environment except for us human beings. Our personal actions will contribute in taking care
of our environment. A simple step will make big difference.

What I Need to Know

At end of the lesson, the learners are expected to:

1. Identify the list of activities that exemplify care for the environment.
2. Explain how important that we show care for the environment.

What’s In

Last meeting, we have discussed about what is trend, how to spot a trend, the
characteristics of a trend, how trend differ from a fad, the elements of trend, emerging
patterns of trend, part of a whole and discovering the relationships between cause and
consequence. This time, we will identify the list of activities that exemplify care for the
environment and how important that we show care for the environment.

What’s New

Direction: List activities that exemplify the ways on how we take good care for the
environment.

Activities that exemplify the ways on how we take good care for
the environment.

5
 What is it

Paskill (2018) suggested eight (8) simple ways to help care our environment.
In every little thing you make a difference.

1. Use Reusable luggage

If you're attending to mall for searching like grocery, food, and garments you would
like to apply the plastic luggage. Mistreatment reusable luggage helps the atmosphere. Plastic
grocery-type luggage that get thrown out find yourself in landfills and it takes years to
decompose.

2. Print as very little as Necessary

Using such a lot paper is damaging to the atmosphere. If possible recycle the
utilization writing paper for printing. If not, print on either side of the page to scale back the
number of paper used.

3. Recycle
Instead of throwing recyclables within the trash along with your non-recyclables,
recycle the materials of fine use. create a degree to require an additional step to separate
reclaimable materials like cans, bottles, plastic and papers.

4. Use a Reusable nutrient Containers

In most school, fruit juices is served mistreatment plastic cups, rather than shopping
for this cup of drinks on an individual basis, deliberate to use a reusable bottle. Not solely can
this facilitate the atmosphere it saves your money for several of the campuses that provide
water fountains designed for drinking still as for replacement reusable water bottles.

5. Don’t Throw Your Notes Away

Keeping your notes can facilitate the scholars by having the ability to scan what
they're learning within the words of another student. If you can’t notice anyone to convey the
notes to, at the terribly least, recycle the paper you used.

6. Save Electricity!
Use energy-efficient light-weight bulbs rather than regular bulbs. They last longer,
which can save your money. Make you turn off lights, the TV, and other appliances when
you are not using them.

6
7. Save Water
Water is wasted a lot frequently than we can see. Shut down the faucet as you're
brushing your teeth. Don’t turn your shower on till you’re able to get in and wash your hair.
Limit your water usage as you wash dishes.

8. Avoid Taking Cars or Carpool as possible

Cars square measure harmful to the atmosphere. Taking public transportation,
walking, or riding a motorcycle are better options that help the environment and your budget,
as well as getting some exercise.

What’s More

True or False. Analyze each statement. Write T If the statement is true but if the
statement is false write F. Write your answer on the space provided.

1. It takes thousands of years for plastic grocery-type bags that get thrown in
landfills.
2. Using so much paper is detrimental to the environment.
3. Using plastic cups help the environment as it helps for refilling water
water or juices.
4. Use regular bulbs instead of energy-efficient light bulbs.
5. Turning off lights, TV, and other appliances when not in use help
conserve our energy.
6. Taking public transportation is better than walking, or riding a bike as Best
options that help our environment.
7. Using Cars or any public transportation are harmful to the environment.
8. Recycling is better than reusing.
9. The more people recycle, the less the people dispose their garbage
10. Reduce, remove and recycle are the 3 R's of the environment.

 What is it

Climate change refers to the increase in average surface temperatures on Earth. An

amazing scientific accord highlighted that global climate change is due primarily to the
human use of fossil fuels, that releases dioxide and alternative greenhouse gases into the air.
The gases trap heat inside the atmosphere, which may have a variety of effects on
ecosystems. the results square measure the following; (a) rising ocean levels, (b) severe
weather events, and (d) droughts that render landscapes additional vulnerable to wildfires.

The food consumption and production have a major impact on the surroundings. The
means we have a tendency to consume has each direct and indirect impacts on the
surroundings. An example of this consumption is that the use of energy in our homes like
television radio, computer, cars and public utility jeepney that emit harmful gasses and
caused pollution and increased emissions of greenhouse gases that results in global climate
change.

Consumption conjointly vie an indirect impact towards our surroundings from the
assembly, process and transportation of the products that we have a tendency to consume
daily. Examples of this production of goods we consume are the can goods, soft drinks,
processed foods, shampoo and many more..

In association, with consumption and production pattern within the Philippines, the
state of surroundings in our country along with the emissions of greenhouse gasses, indicators
on pollution and also the generation of material discovered that each one indicators show
environmental degradations all told the domains being assessed (Sta. Romana, 2017).

 Lesson EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE
3 (HUMSS_MCT12Ih-i-3)

How climate change affects the humanity in general? This lesson will answer that
question to help you understand the effects of climate change and help you realized the
consequences of personal and local action to global and planetary climate change.

What I Need to Know

At the end of the lesson, the learners are expected to:

1. Identify the effects of climate change.
2. Explain and illustrate personal contributions that can actually solve the
problem of climate change.

What’s In

In the previous lesson we learned about the effects of consumption and production
patterns that contribute to the problem of climate change. As a continuation, we will discuss
the effects of climate change and what personal contributions that can actually solve the
problem of climate change.

What’s New

Instruction: Analyze the pictures and answers the questions below. Write your
answers on your notebook.

13
Guide questions

1. What was the picture all about?

2. In your own opinion, what is the relevance of these pictures to our environment?
3. How these consequences of human’s action that affect the lives of others and the
environment?

What is it

There is broad-based agreement within the scientific community that climate change
is real. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration correspond that
climate change is indeed happening and is almost certainly due to human activity. The
primary reason behind climate change is the burning of fossil fuels, such as oil and coal,
which emits greenhouse gases into the atmosphere— primarily carbon dioxide. Other human
activities, such as agriculture and deforestation, also contribute to the production of
greenhouse gases that cause climate change.
Even small increases in Earth’s temperature caused by climate change can have
severe effects. The rising sea levels due to the melting of the polar ice caps is caused by
climate change. The warming ocean temperatures are associated with stronger and more
frequent storms; additional rainfall, particularly during severe weather events, leads to
flooding and other damage; an increase in the incidence and severity of wildfires threatens
habitats, homes, and lives; and heat waves contribute to human deaths and other
consequences.

What is it
? 10 Possible Solutions for Climate Change

Madaan (2018) suggested that there is a solution to each problem, and suggested
possible solutions to climate change namely:

1. Stop Cutting down Trees: Believe it or not, cutting down trees is the prime
reason of the climate change. Planting new trees can quickly scale back the speed of
the emission of gases.

2. Control Population: Yes, if the population is controlled, then climate change can
also be controlled. How? Putting in simpler words, more number of individuals
suggests that additional demand of resources like food and shelter resulted in
additional usage or utilization of the earth.

3. Less use of Fossil Fuels: The high discharges of the greenhouses gases are
diminishing the ozone layer which gives global warming. It is then one of the major
causes of climate change.

4. Unplug your Devices: In almost every house, there are at least a dozen of
appliances which includes air conditioner, television, microwave, washing machine
and others. These devices lead to global warming, hence the climate change.

5. Focus on Renewable Energy: Fossil fuels are going to be finished in an

exceedingly few decades and it's time to maneuver towards the renewable energy. In
several elements of the globe, several cities are using the energy from the renewable
sources of energy which incorporates wind, solar, tidal, ocean and many more.

18
 6. Control of Methane Leaks: Surprisingly, methane is a more potent greenhouse
gas than carbon dioxide. Every month, there is a huge quantity of methane leak from
pipeline, storage tanks, other infrastructure, garbage dumps and coal mines.

7. Tougher Emissions and Efficiency Standards: Most of the harmful gases are
released either by automobiles or power plants. Many countries have already put strict
rules in controlling the emissions.

8. Experimenting the Earth: There are many experiments being done on Earth
which might control climate change. Some ideas like, Geo-engineering, radical
interventions to either block sunlight or reduce greenhouse gas are probably the last
options to control the climate change.

9. Upgrade in infrastructure: Buildings require cement and it is produced by heating

limestone giving rise to the carbon dioxide level. Upgrade in infrastructure like,
making the roads perfect, improving cement-making processes and investing in new
infrastructure or radically upgrading existing highways and transmission lines would
cut emission of greenhouse gas and control climate change.

10. Personal Solutions to Global Warming: There are many steps which everyone
can take in order to control the climate change. A small step by anyone can make a
big difference.
 Drive less and cycle more while going to school or work.
 Upgrade your refrigerator and air conditioner, especially if they are
more than five years old.
