Definition of Terms:

Environment- means anything that surround us. It can be living (biotic) or non-living (abiotic) things. It
includes physical, chemical and other natural forces. ... In the environment there are different interactions
between animals, plants, soil, water, and other living and non-living things.

Wastes- substances discharged from daily life, products as processes or other activities

Pollutants -are the elements, molecules and particles involved in Pollution - life can be
harmed when exposed to these materials, and the effects of them on humans and plants are
well known. ... Different types of pollutants include: Nitrogen oxides (NOx) Sulfur oxides (SOx)
Particulate matter (PM)

The Republic Act (RA) 9003, otherwise known as the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000,
provides the necessary policy framework, institutional mechanisms and mandate to the local government
unites (LGUs) to achieve 25% waste reduction through establishing an integrated solid waste management
plans based on 3Rs (reduce, reuse and recycling).

Under RA 9003, LGUs are primarily responsible for the effective and efficient solid waste management,
particularly garbage segregation and disposal. Every LGU is required to develop a 10-year Solid Waste
Management Plan (SWMP), including the establishment of materials recovery facilities (MRF) and sanitary
 landfills.

Environmental Pollution- alteration of the properties of the environment,

violating environmental standards and policies

Environmental degradation- means qualitative and quantitative alteration of

COURSE MODULE
the components of the environment, adversely affecting man’s life and
nature.

Ecosystem – system of groups of living organisms, entering and developing

together in a given environment, interacting with one another.

Biodiversity – abundance in gene pools, species and varieties of living

organisms and ecosystem in nature

Environmental Impact Assessment (E.I.A)- means the process of analyzing,

evaluating and forecasting the effects on the environment by socio-economic
development projects and plans, scientific, technical, medical, cultural, social,
security’s defense or other facilities and purposing appropriate solutions to
protect the environment.

Pollution -means the presence of polluted matters in the environment as

would be harmful to human beings as well as other living things.

Environmental Protection is the practice of protecting the natural

environment by individuals, organizations and governments. Its
objectives are to conserve natural resources and the existing natural
environment and, where possible, to repair damage and reverse trends.

Environmental Protection includes programs that are aimed at reducing risks to the
environment from contaminants such as hazardous materials and wastes.

These partners set voluntary pollution-management goals; examples

include conserving water and energy, minimizing greenhouse gases,
slashing toxic emissions, reusing solid waste, controlling indoor air pollution,
and getting a handle on pesticide risks.
 Our environment is what houses and
helps our ecosystem grow and
thrive. Without protecting and taking
care of our environment we're putting
so many lives at danger such as
animals, plants and crops, and even our
COURSE MODULE
own. All of the ecosystems that make
up our environment are deeply
connected.

Ten Simple Things You Can Do to

ROLES in Environmental protection

You can take action to protect the environment by recycling, reusing, and
composting; making better transport choices; reducing your electricity
usage; buying local; donating to conservation groups; and avoiding toxic
chemicals. You can also get involved in politics.

The seven principles are 1) maintain diversity and redundancy, 2) manage

connectivity, 3) manage slow variables and feedbacks, 4) foster complex
adaptive systems thinking, 5) encourage learning, 6) broaden participation,
and 7) promote polycentric governance systems.

These principles are (i) sovereignty and responsibility principle, (ii) the
precautionary principle, (iii) the prevention principle, (iv) the "polluter pays"
principle and (iv) sustainable development principle.

These “seven lenses” are as follows:

 Nature knows best.
 All forms of life are equally important.
  Everything is connected to everything else.
 Everything changes.
 Everything must go somewhere.
 Ours is a finite Earth.
 Nature is beautiful and we are stewards of God's creation.

3 important Environmental Laws

COURSE MODULE
Our five most effective pieces of environmental legislation are the Clean Air Act,
the Endangered Species Act, the Montreal Protocol, the Clean Water Act, and
Reformation Plan No. 3 of 1970. Because of these laws, the health of Americans
and the environment they inhabit have dramatically improved.

Clean Air Act Of 1999 (RA 8749) Ecological Solid Waste Management Act (RA 9003)
Clean Water Act (RA 9275) Environmental Awareness And Education Act Of 2009 (RA
9512)
The six laws related to environmental protection and wildlife are: The Environment
(Protection) Act, 1986; The Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980; The Wildlife Protection
Act, 1972; Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974; Air (Prevention and
Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 and The Indian Forest Act, 1927.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMS IN THE PHILIPPINES

 Mother Earth Foundation.

The law aims to protect the country's water bodies from pollution from land-based
sources (industries and commercial establishments, agriculture and
community/household activities).

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND MANAGEMENT IN THE PHILIPPINES

This act seeks to ensure that decisions pertaining to the environment are made in an
integrated manner, in collaboration with appropriate authorities, non-governmental
organizations and other persons, provides for preventive and remedial measures for the
control and mitigation of all forms of environmental degradation ...

Environmental law works to protect land, air, water, and soil. Negligence of these
laws results in various punishments like fines, community service, and in some extreme
cases, jail time. Without these environmental laws, the government would not be able to
punish those who treat the environment poorly.

Top 5 Environmental Problems in the Philippines

a. Pollution. Pollution, in context, is the introduction of contaminants into
the environment causing adverse change. ...
b. Global warming due to emission of greenhouse gases. ...
 c. Overpopulation. ...
d. Natural resources depletion. ...
e. Waste disposal.

Other environmental problems that the country is facing include pollution, illegal
mining and logging, deforestation, dynamite fishing, landslides, coastal erosion,
wildlife extinction, global warming and climate change.
COURSE MODULE
The Philippines has sound and comprehensive environmental laws and policies.
However, it suffers from weak implementation because of inadequate capacity and
financial constraints both at the national and local levels.

The Republic Act No. 9512, or the National Environmental Awareness and Education
Act of 2008, articulates that the state shall promote national awareness of the role
of natural resources in economic growth and the importance of environmental
conservation and ecological balance towards sustained national development.

The Act envisages establishment of NGT in order to deal with all environmental laws
relating to air and water pollution, the Environment Protection Act, the Forest
Conservation Act and the Biodiversity Act as have been set out in Schedule I of the NGT
Act.

The greatest threats to the sustainable development on earth are: population growth
and urbanization, energy use and global warming, excessive waste generation and
the subsequent pollution of soil, air, and water, transportation in cities, and limited
supply of resources. Many of them are interrelated.

The main job of environmental law is to protect human health as well as the
environment. It is all about making balance. The role of the environment is to ensure
that the practices used in the environment do not cause harm to the environment,
human or animal health.

Some of the key issues are:

 Pollution. ...
 Global warming. ...
 Overpopulation. ...
 Waste disposal. ...
 Ocean acidification. ...
 Loss of biodiversity. ...
 Deforestation. ...
 Ozone layer depletion.

Poverty, lack of education, drug or substance abuse, vice, crime and

unemployment are among the many problems that continue to batter them.

Environmental Principles:
These core principles are:
o sustainability,
 o precautionary principle,
o pollution prevention,
o polluter pays,
o cumulative impacts,
o intergenerational equity and.
o public participation.
COURSE MODULE
Most environmental law falls into a general category of laws known as “command and
control.” Such laws typically involve three elements: (1) identification of a type of
environmentally harmful activity, (2) imposition of specific conditions or
standards on that activity, and (3) prohibition of forms of the activity ...
Main Objective of Environmental Management System
The goals of EMS are to increase compliance and reduce waste: Compliance is the
act of reaching and maintaining minimal legal standards. By not being compliant,
companies may face fines, government intervention or may not be able to operate.
Waste reduction goes beyond compliance to reduce environmental impact.

Lets's discuss these 10 best ways to reduce air pollution.

 Using public transports. ...
 Turn off the lights when not in use. ...
 Recycle and Reuse. ...
 No to plastic bags. ...
 Reduction of forest fires and smoking. ...

There are many causes of pollution

including chemical pollution into bodies of water and soil through improper
disposal practices and agricultural activities, and noise and light pollution created by
cities and urbanization as a result of population growth.

Long-term health effects from air pollution include heart disease, lung cancer, and
respiratory diseases such as emphysema. Air pollution can also cause long-term
damage to people's nerves, brain, kidneys, liver, and other organs. Some scientists
suspect air pollutants cause birth defects.

FOREST PROTECTION,CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT

The Philippine government aims to meet its reforestation targets by cooperating with
various sectors of society. ... Government plantations will rehabilitate degraded
forest areas and protect watersheds. The National Forestation
Programme (NFP) aims to reforest 100,000ha each year.

Some of the steps we can take to conserve our forest resources are as
follows:
 Regulated and Planned Cutting of Trees: ...
 Control over Forest Fire: ...
 Reforestation and Afforestation: ...
 Check over Forest Clearance for Agricultural and Habitation Purposes:
...
 Protection of Forests: ...

 Three Priority programs for the Forest Protection Conservation and
Development

PRIORITY ACTIVITIES ARE THE FOLLOWING: (1) ESTABLISHMENT OF ECO-

TOURISM AREAS; (2) ESTABLISHMENT OF CRITICAL HABITATS; AND (3)
ESTABLISHMENT AND DISESTABLISHMENT OF PROTECTED AREAS.
COURSE MODULE

Why is it important to protect and conserve the natural resources of the

Philippines?

 They provide food, fresh water, livelihoods and climate resilience to more than
100 million Filipinos. ... The forests and oceans of the Philippines sequester
vast amounts of carbon — playing a significant role in the global solution to
climate change.

Agencies in the Philippines that gives protection to our Forest

As spelled out under EO 192, the Forest Management Bureau (FMB), the
Ecosystems Research and Development Bureau (ERDB) and the Protected Areas
and Wildlife Bureau (PAWB) are the DENR bureaus with direct forestry-related
functions.
What is the importance of forest Conservation?

Hence forests also reduce air pollution. Forests also prevent soil erosion and keep soil
pollution in check. Deforestation, in fact, leads to soil erosion on a large scale since the
topsoil comes loose. Forests also play an important part in the water cycle and control
moisture levels of our ecosystem.
Forests take in the carbon dioxide that we breathe out and, in turn, provide us with the
oxygen we breathe in. One mature tree can provide enough oxygen per day to
support between 2 to 10 people. The fewer trees there are, the fewer lives that our
planet can support.

Common Forest Problems and issues:

 Aside from logging (whether legal or illegal), other causes of deforestation in the
Philippines are forest fires, “kaingin” farming (slash-and-burn agriculture), and mining
operations. Volcanic eruptions have also devastated some of the country's tropical
rainforests.

What is the significance of forest management in our country especially the

Philippines?

In the Philippines the forests are considered the country's natural resource base and
COURSE MODULE
an important pillar in promoting sustainable development (DENR 1990). Despite
this, past efforts have been ineffective in halting a persistent onslaught on these
resources.

Priority programs of DENR?

Using an ecosystems-based approach, the Center focused on the assessment of the
DENR's ten priority program, namely: (1) Clean Air; (2) Clean Water; (3) Solid Waste
Management; (4) Enhanced National Greening Program; (5) Intensified Forest
Protection and Anti-illegal Logging; (6) Geo-Hazards, Groundwater Assessment
and ..

Water sanitation and conservation

Water sanitation is defined as the process of cleaning and purifying water so it

is safe for use. An example of water sanitation is a filter that removes impurities
from water.

Having clean water and sanitation means being able to avoid exposure to countless
diseases. Every year, millions of people die from diseases caused by inadequate water
supply, sanitation, and hygiene. ... Poor sanitation and unsafe water cause nearly 20%
of workplace deaths.

WASH (or Watsan,

WaSH) is an acronym
that stands for "water,
sanitation and
hygiene". ... Challenges
include providing
services to urban
slums, improper
management of water
distribution systems,
failures of WASH
systems over time,
providing equitable
access to drinking water supply and gender issues.
Connect, partner, and serve through Rotary
 Improve sanitation facilities by providing toilets and latrines that flush
into a sewer or safe enclosure.
 Promote good hygiene habits through education. ...
 Implement rainwater harvesting systems to collect and store rainwater
for drinking or recharging underground aquifers.
Sanitation systems aim to protect human health by providing a clean environment
that will stop the transmission of disease, especially through the fecal–oral route. For
example, diarrhea, a main cause of malnutrition and stunted growth in children, can be
reduced through adequate sanitation.
 Basic sanitation is described as having access to facilities for the safe disposal of
human waste (feces and urine), as well as having the ability to maintain hygienic
conditions, through services such as garbage collection, industrial/hazardous waste
management, and wastewater treatment and disposal.
Safe water supplies, hygienic sanitation and good water management are
fundamental to global health.
COURSE MODULE
The Difference between hygiene and sanitation:

“Hygiene” is defined as a cumulative group of practices that is perceived by groups of

people to be a way towards healthy living or good health. ...
“Sanitation,” on the other hand, is for human waste, environmental waste, and other
forms of waste.

Water conservation

Water conservation refers to the preservation, control and development of water

resources, both surface and groundwater, and prevention of pollution.
Water conservation includes all the policies, strategies and activities to sustainably
manage the natural resource of fresh water, to protect the ...

Water conservation is the practice of using water efficiently to reduce unnecessary

water usage. According to Fresh Water Watch, water conservation is important
because fresh clean water is a limited resource, as well as a costly one.

The Philippine Clean Water Act of 2004 (Republic Act No. 9275) aims to protect the
country's water bodies from pollution from land-based sources (industries and
commercial establishments, agriculture and community/household activities).

One of the strategies in water conservation is rain water harvesting. Digging ponds,
lakes, canals, expanding the water reservoir, and installing rain water catching ducts
and filtration systems on homes are different methods of harvesting rain water. ... Water
in this saturation zone is called groundwater.

Conserving water is important because it keeps water pure and clean while
protecting the environment. Conserving water means using our water supply wisely
and be responsible. As every individual depends on water for livelihood, we must learn
how to keep our limited supply of water pure and away from pollution.
