Preserving the Environment for the Future

     Environment awareness means being aware of the natural environment and making choices that benefit the earth, rather than to hurt it. Some ways to ptactice environmental awareness is to use safe and non-toxic building supplies, conserving energy and water, recycling, activism and others.

     Environmental awareness is very important because it advocates a sense of connection to the ntural world and it promotes sustainable development and encourages conservation of irreplaceable natural resources and vulnerable plant and animal species. Environmental awareness essentially serves as an education tool, helping people around the world understand the economic importance of preserving resources and reducing the harmful impacts of man-made conversion.

     This month of November is also the Environmental Awareness Month. We need to practice and apply environmental awareness so that our environment will be preserved for the future generations.

     There are many good values and traits Fikipinos have. Filipinis are family-oriented. filipinos are known for having strong and close famuly ties. They prioritize their families over others. In other countries, when a person turned 18, he or she can live away from his or her family, but in the Philippines, they value their family so much that they stay with them through the years. Filipinos are respectful. Some ways to show their respect is to us "Po at Opo" "Pagmamano" and calling their older siblings or elders "Ate o Kuya." Filipinos re God-fearing. Although we Filipinos have different religions, we always put God in the center of our lives. And the most popular Filipino Value is that Filipinos are very hospitable. When they are expecting visitors, they will do a lot of preparations for good entertainment and accomodations so that they will feel at home and enjoy the stay.

     And in this month of November, we are celebrating the Filipino Values Month. This will help us keep ourselves together as one people of one blood.
