 "Towards a More Sufficient and Liberate Country"

In the present day, our country has been facing a lot of obstacles; natural disasters, politics, and lack of unity. In which leads our country- perhaps its downfall. As I write this content, natural disasters are the common conflict we've been experiencing. It's been unsafe for us as we can't do things we want to do, like going to school and elders going to do their job. These disasters has been constantly damaging our country. As students, we are also alarmed about our country's problem with garbage. According to what we have studied, most of the waste comes from our homes because of the products we use that leave us with their plastic packaging, which is later stored and becomes a lot of garbage.

There are many reasons why we are experiencing severe solid waste pollution, the increase of garbage in our country. One of the reasons for this is that the Philippines is overpopulated and there are a lot of scattered and invented products that we use, especially in today's time when we Filipinos use cellphones too much. we are easily enticed by the things we see on the internet, whether it's food or things that we don't really need and maybe even perishable things that end up in the trash. Next is the lack of discipline of the people. There will be no waste problem if people manage it properly. An additional problem now is that the segregation of types of waste, plastic, glassware, and perishables is no longer carried out. If we need to be deep or specific, let's go to the city streets. There is a lot of scattered garbage that is left on the side of the roads and people throwing their garbage everywhere can also cause clogging of waterways or canals.

As students, since elementary school we have been taught how to segregate garbage. The separation of plastics, glass and biodegradables. Until now we are still practicing these 3R's. this has a big impact because the youth are informed about mitigating our country's problem of solid waste pollution. I also participate in Clean Up Friday at our school and we go around the entire campus to see and clean up the mess that the students make. I have also participated in a Coastal Clean up, because it is important to keep our riverside clean because the cleanliness of our ocean may be affected. In addition to this, I also know about the recycling of things; such as making garden decorations using saved plastic bottles, making paper from paper products and even making creative things that keep us from spending money. Not only should the government take care of this problem, but we students can also help manage and reduce the problem of our town regarding garbage. We need to manage and give importance to waste disposal because we hold the future of our people, our country.
