COMMUNITY SMART ACTION PLAN
I. INTRODUCTION
The goal of this proposed action plan is to make an intent to save or at

least do something about the constant happenings in our environment, to assist our
organizations in monitoring and improving their commitment to minimize the
wrongdoings of other people that can have a disastrous unexpected impact on humanity
and the next generation, to prevent possible threats of nature in our natural world, and
to reach out and touch the hearts of other youths, to educate, influence, and especially
inspire them to care and spread awareness for our dying planet.
The purpose of this objective is to remind other people that we don't

have that much time to ignore and disregard the obvious circumstances and events that
are occurring right now and then. Every day we hear about how our planet is changing.
This circulation has been through us for decades. I can't just sit here and play games all
day. We need to move and put more pressure on taking action on this kind of issue
before it's too late, because we humans do not have control of what our mother nature
can do if we do not address this matter sincerely.
Climate change is a real thing. Some people are blinded by greed, and
they are just unconcerned and pretend to be innocent about this topic. After all the
precious gifts and the quality of life that nature freely gives to us, we should bring
something back in return. I was reminded of my 6th grade science teacher's words while
doing this activity. She said, "Humans can't live without nature, but nature can live
without humans." After that day, I just realized how essential nature is to our entire lives.
Environmental awareness is discussed and studied by many, but to

make an impact and progress, we have to know the environmental problems and the
possible solutions. So here is the community action plan that we made that can at least
make a difference in the status of our surroundings.

The graph shows how the Earth has become hotter over the years,
and humans are the primary suspects in this act. So we should do something about it. If
not for you, perhaps for the later generation.
ll. THE COMMUNITY ACTION PLAN
Factors that we saw that contributes to climate change
-ELECTRICITY
-PLASTIC
-ANIMALS
Let's discuss how these factors affect the environment.
1. Electricity - Electricity affects about two-thirds of global greenhouse gas emissions

that are caused by burning fossil fuels for energy to be used for heating, electricity,
transport, and industry. It has an effect on physical health. Changes in teaching style,
sleeplessness, unscheduled tasks, inefficiency of home appliances, inefficient learning,
task incompletion, and some are resulting in power outages, which reduce overall
performance in daily routines. Cities are major contributors to climate change. You can't
see it, but electricity has an effect on our nature.

Life without electricity would be impossible to imagine now, but

most people are just wasting electricity like it is an unlimited thing, and some are using it
for bad things without knowing the main purpose of why it was invented. Most of these
are teens who play and entertain themselves all day, not being productive at all.
2. Plastics - As our climate changes, the planet gets hotter. The plastic breaks down
into more methane and ethylene, increasing the rate of climate change. From air quality
to ocean toxicity, plastic bags contribute to eco-system disruption. Habitat destruction,
fossil fuel emissions, and plastic pollution are some of the ways that plastic bags and
climate change cannot be separated. Plastics cannot decompose, so the only way to
get rid of them is to burn them, but burning plastics is extremely harmful to our
atmosphere.

3. Animal - You don't think animals contribute to global warming? But the process and
the equipment that are being used to take care of and multiply them do. Equipment,
materials, food, and chemicals are factors that affect our surroundings. Animal
agriculture produces 65% of the world's nitrous oxide emissions, which has a global
warming impact 296 times greater than carbon dioxide. Raising livestock for human
consumption generates nearly 15% of total global greenhouse gas emissions, which is
greater than all the transportation emissions combined. When land is used to raise
animals instead of crops, precious water and soil are lost, trees are cut down to make
land for grazing or factory-farm sheds, and untreated animal waste pollutes rivers and
streams.

Agriculture is the leading source of pollution in many countries. Pesticides,

fertilizers and other toxic farm chemicals can poison fresh water, marine ecosystems, air and
soil. They can also remain in the environment for generations.
These are only 3 of many problems that this community is facing. So Celvin and I
brainstormed ideas on how to preserve the earth as students. by looking for solutions to
assess or prevent these environmental problems as best we can.
The policies, programs, and projects that we think can help solve these factors are
listed below.
1. Electricity
PROJECT A
We can propose to our barangay leaders that if they have an extra
budget, they can constantly buy some solar panels so people will not rely on the power
of the main source of electricity. So you're thinking, why solar panels?
Generating electricity from solar panels produces no harmful emissions

and its renewable, which is why installing solar panels reduces air pollution, and the
more people use solar power, the less poisonous emissions from fossil fuels enter our
air. It’s kind of expensive project but this will make the air in our community cleaner and
more breathable.

PROJECT B
We will introduce what we have learned in school to our local

government and show the goodness and efficiency of renewable energies that can
actually produce electricity without harming nature. And we will make electricity a
human right. This is one solution for energy-impoverished areas. While basic human
needs such as food, water, and shelter should obviously be of top prior. As we said, an
example of renewable energy is a water mill, since there are a lot of rivers and falls
within Dasmarinas. We can build water mills there so that we can generate electricity
without damaging the environment. Unlike the solar panels, water mills are cheap and
easy to build, so we thought that this would be a good project for our community.
