What kind of violence against environment have you observed in your particular/own
community? Cite at least three (3) concrete examples.
- In my community, I have observed several environmental issues that negatively impact
the surroundings. First, improper waste disposal is a significant problem. Waste is often
scattered on the streets and clogs the drainage systems. As a result, when it rains heavily,
flooding occurs more quickly due to blocked drainage. Second, smoking is prevalent, and
this contributes to environmental damage. Cigarette smoke is harmful because it leads to
air pollution, which negatively affects people, animals, trees, and plants. Air pollution can
also increase the likelihood of more frequent rainfall due to changes in the atmosphere.
Lastly, tree cutting is common in our community. Trees are cut down to make way for
new houses or establishments. Deforestation is very harmful to the environment, as it
leads to habitat destruction, contributes to climate change, and reduces air quality by
decreasing the number of trees that absorb carbon dioxide.
What personal habit/s can you change in order to be more ecologically responsible?
Explain your answer.
- As an individual who wants to be more ecologically responsible, I aim to improve our
environment for everyone's benefit. I will practice proper waste disposal and recycling so
that items we often see scattered on the streets and clogging drainage systems can be
reused or processed properly. This is essential because improper waste disposal
frequently leads to flooding when it rains. It's important to have proper waste
management to prevent flooding, as it can significantly impact people's health and
damage property. Floods can lead to water contamination, the spread of diseases, and
costly damage to homes and infrastructure, making it crucial to address this issue through
responsible waste practices.
