Our environment is important
We experience nowadays extreme natural disasters, climate change, and pollution. It is because that we people are being so reckless about the environment. We don't care that we cut trees, we litter, and we emit unhealthy gases like Nicotine emitted in the cigarette. What happens to our environment also happens to our health. The environment is the surroundings that affects your health. We are adapted to our natural environment before but now we are destroying the trees and organisms that we've been together before. All of these other organisms like ants, bees, cockroaches, and especially trees contribute for their own survival. The higher the biodiversity of the environment, the more chance that we will survive because there are other organisms that has roles in maintaining the environment.How to maintain the healthiness of the environment?
Maintaining the environment is hard to be practiced but fun to do. Avoiding to litter everywhere will make the surroundings clean and no unnecessary smells. This will prevent land pollution. Another one is not to do smoking and use cars less. It will prevent air pollution and will prevent yourself to inhale some toxic gases that may damage your lungs and the circulatory system. Do not litter in ponds, seas, and other bodies of water because water is very important to our body as it hydrates our tired body. Maintain the biodiversity that you should not destroy habitats such as trees because our life depends on other lives. Better to plant more trees for it supplies us Oxygen that we need in making energy in our body and it supplies food.Join us in the YES-O!
Youth for Environment in Schools’ Organization (YES-O) is a national Non-Government Organizations that is held by the young people especially students with the help of teachers in cooperating in taking care of the environment especially now we have critical cases of environmental problems like pollution, deforestation and others that may affect the whole society in its possibilities of higher health problems, decreasing amount of natural resources like fruits and vegetables which can downgrade a city’s economy. So with that said, YES-O will do programs to solve these problems and help our community be a better environment. These projects are created and signed the guidelines by the teachers who are advisers of one YES-O club in a school, and also signed by the principal for it to know that YES-O members are ready to do the plan. They will create an environmental campaign for the society or school to know that they will do a program and all of them can join it. Examples of these are tree planting, Material Recovery Facilities (MRF) collection, schoolroom monitoring, and cleaning area monitoring. The members of YES-O will know if it was effective or not by monitoring the cleanliness and grading it. There are also contests of environmental research so we can know the new way to solve problems in our society better.
