[March Free Report] Sustainability and Education Featuring Rightfully Recycled
by Alex Kim \| 30-04-2023 21:21 0
Education on sustainability is crucial for youth as they are the future generation that will inherit and be responsible for the health of our planet. It is essential that the youth are equipped with knowledge and skills to address the environmental challenges that our world faces, such as climate change, deforestation, pollution, and loss of biodiversity. Sustainable education helps youth develop critical thinking skills, ethical values, and a sense of responsibility towards the environment and society. In the context of the Philippines, sustainability education is especially important due to the country's vulnerability to climate change and environmental degradation. The Philippines is one of the most climate-vulnerable countries in the world, with frequent natural disasters such as typhoons, floods, and landslides. Climate change impacts, such as sea-level rise, ocean acidification, and drought, have far-reaching effects on the country's agriculture, fisheries, and overall economy. Additionally, the Philippines is home to a rich biodiversity of plants and animals, which are threatened by deforestation, illegal wildlife trade, and habitat loss. Efforts are being made in the Philippines to promote sustainability education in schools and communities. The Department of Education has integrated sustainability topics into the curriculum of primary and secondary schools, including modules on climate change, disaster risk reduction, and environmental conservation. I wanted to take the initiative to further highlight sustainability in Filipino education. In my previous report, I mentioned an NGO that I have started to support marginalized communities through sustainability. "Project Think Green!" is an initiative that furthers Rightfully Recycled's goals of using sustainability to empower communities in need. We firmly believe that community growth starts with the youth, a conviction that has led us to start "Project Think Green!" "Project Think Green!" works with Alabang Elementary School (AES) to upcycle plastic waste. First, we gave a lesson on sustainability and recycling to the AES students. Together with AES' students, we then gathered recyclable waste from their homes and around the school. Afterwards we formed stations for three unique projects, a mini toy car, a pencil holder, and a collage/mosaic made from scrappy flimsier pieces of plastic waste. Each station had a group of students, and each group of students experienced each station. This was an uplifting experience that put the fun in sustainability for young students.

Before I start, I apologize for the late comment.

This time, you have written a report about sustainability education!
In my opinion, the Philippines promoting of sustainability education is very good since it can help the next generation to lean and think a lot about the environment.

Thank you for your meaningful report! Great job!

Hello again Alex! This is your mentor James.

And again, sorry for my late comment.

Wow! Thanks for being an inspiration for Tunza ambassadors by actively engaging in environmental activities. Thanks to your "Project Think Green", I bet a lot of AES students would realize and be aware of the current waste management situation. I'm sure your contribution to promoting environmental education would certainly give effect in the near future!

Thank you for this writing meaningful report! Let's keep up the good work.
