Pherly Grace Bungao     

Philippines     

I - Goal 12: Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns

Resolution: "Inhale important things, exhale useless wants."

Action Plan:

1) "Paper or plastic? None of the above please!" - Plastic keeps clogging our drainage systems and they all end up in our seas, killing thousands of marine animals. On the other hand, paper bags cause 70% more pollution, and consumes four times the energy and three times the amount of water it takes to create plastic bags. Paper is not always the greener choice. The best thing to bring during shopping is your own bag, or try buying ecobags. :)

2) "BYOB: Bring your own bottle!" - Refilling my own bottle with water is the best way to reduce mineral bottle production, reducing the amount of CO2 and other gases into the air.

3) "3-R plus Two" - popular segregation techniques are "Reduce, Recycle and Reuse." This time I would like to apply two more R's, "Rethink if I really need to buy some things" and "Refuse, if you find the item not important to you."

4) "Fall in love with refillables." - Instead of buying single used pen, notebook and pencil, settle for the refillable ones. Greater savings will be done as well!

5) "Use your own YOU-tensils, say NO to styro!" - Take outs are really tempting especially when busy. To bring my own utensils is the best way to reduce plastic production in food chains.

6) "The bigger the better" - buy bigger bottles instead of the smaller ones. It may be expensive, but it may save a lot of penny most of the time.

7) "Trash to treasure" - recycle what I can recycle, up to its last use.

8) "Be a waste watcher" - Be mindful of the personal wastes!

II - Goal 14: Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources Resolution: "Be a steward of marine conservation because the seas save us."

Action List:

1) "Straw free for a happier sea!" - Apart from being used once, plastic straws are great contributors of irresponsible consumption of plastic. Single used straws shall not be used again. Stainless straws/bamboo straws/washable straws is what I should always use.

2) "Screen your sunscreen" - Check the sunscreen if there is a ingredient named 'Oxybenzone', a major catalyst for coral bleaching.

3) "May the right fish be with you!" - Overfishing nowaday may not only mean massive fish harvest. It also means that we should be mindful of what we eat (particularly on sea foods) because not all from the ocean should be eaten by humans.

4) "Wear Confidently your BE YOU-tiful face" - It's good to be mindful at personal hygiene. But let us be careful with our beauty products especially those with microbreads - all drains leak to the ocean & microbeads destroys the corals by detaching the algae and replacing them.

5) "Be the guardian of the sea" - report any means of illegal wildlife marine trade to the government officials and let them do the job.

6) "What goes up, must come down." - as a project planner, I hereby not allow any hot-air balloon or simply balloon releasing, either to the open sea or field. Balloons are made up of plastics, in which, if will reach the ocean, be eaten by the cute turtles.

III - Goal 15: Sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, halt and reverse land degradation, halt biodiversity loss

Resolution: "Take a step for Tree-volution"

Action Plan:

1) "Think before you print." - Pick specific documents to print, and make sure that will be used for a long time.

2) "Paperless is always the best" - Look for soft copies of textbooks and notes.

3) "Seed of the future" - Plant a tree to add beauty to the ecosystem.

Here we collect the recyclables like Paper, Plastic, Aluminium Cans, Mobile Phones, and Printer Toners etc. All such items if thrown in garbage will end up is Landfills and will take years to decompose. It emits harmful gases also and is deadly for human population & extremely harmful to the Eco-System.

2. Submitting the recyclables to the local recycling center. Mere collection is not sufficient. Responsible submission is essential so that the cycle is completed.

3. Awarding & Rewarding the active & top collectors. I make sure to make arrangements with the recycling centers to award the certificates to the top collectors so that motivation levels are kept high & students are encouraged to collect more and more recyclables.

4. Regularly collecting the recyclables at my home at weekends. I encourage all my peers, neighbors& building mates to keep collecting and they are welcome to deposit all at one place. I have made arrangements with the local recycling centers so that they may visit my home weekly and collect all the recyclable material. This ensures that the habit of segregating is formed.

5. Plant Trees: I make sure to plant as much as possible. In my balcony I have 15 Plants to take care of. They generate oxygen & are boon for the environment.

6. Embrace Groups & Organisations: Apart from a regular Tunza Ambassador for past 4 years, I am member of various other organisations. I am a decorated member of the Emirates Environmental Group [EEG] for past 6 Years. I am ambassador of Bee?ah, a leading environmental organization in Sharjah. I am the founder of a student group ?Serve the Earth?. This group is very active & happening group in Sharjah.

7. Social Media: I am very active on social media, to share the environmental information, to conduct events and to spread awareness.

8. Participate in competitions: I participate & win environmental competitions, walks etc. Recently our team won the Gold medal in Youth Earth Summit, Conducted in Dubai. Based upon my above resolutions I have selected the following Sustainable Development
