Education is the First Step

-

 


            Glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, cloud forests are dying, and wildlife is scrambling to keep pace. It has become clear that humans have caused most of the past century's warming by releasing heat-trapping gases as we power our modern lives. What will we do? What can we do to slow this human-caused warming? How will we cope with the changes we've already set into motion? While we struggle to figure it all out, the fate of the Earth as we know it—coasts, forests, farms, and snow-capped mountains hangs in the balance.

       


            Climate change has already impacted ecosystems and humans. The warming of the earth’s surface is undermining our national food and energy security, and therefore requires broad and intensive information and educational campaign to impress on the general public the awesome and terrifying consequences of this phenomenon and to secure the collective cooperation of the population in finding solutions to it; and “These concerns require the urgent and thoughtful participation of our citizens as well as the collective action of private and public sectors at all levels.” Education is a great help for the global response to climate change. It helps us to understand and to know more about climate change. It will encourages us to change our behaviour and to adopt sustainable lifestyles. As a student, I can help create awareness by educating my non-environmentally informed friends about the the problems of climate change and the habits that they can change in their daily lives.

            Amidst this global pandemic resulting to significant economic impact, we should not forget to protect and take good care of our Mother Earth. Now is the time to work together, in all aspect, in the urgent task of adapting for a sustainable future.

            According to Damaso King, a well-known Vigan historian, the Viva Vigan Binatbatan Festival of the Arts, which runs from the last week of April to the first week of May, was originally the Feast of the Natives, which began on May 3, 1883. Former Mayor Eva S. Medina maintained the group's work to promote Vigan in 1995, giving birth to the Viva Vigan Festival of the Arts. Binatbatan Festival, however, was established in 2002 to honor one of the enterprises that kept inhabitants alive: abel Iloco hand-loom weaving.                       Binatbatan is the method of removing the seeds from cotton pods by beating them.

              We all know, that Philippines is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire. Because of our location, we are prone to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions caused by the movement of tectonic plates. We conduct different programs and activities in preperation for an earthquake. One of these is the National Simultaneous Earthquake Drill (NSED). It is initiated by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) through the Office of Civil Defense in an effort to "continuously instill to the public earthquake preparedness amid the pandemic."             Although we cannot be able to prevent natural earthquakes from occuring, we can lessen the effects by using early warning systems, building safer structures, providing education on earthquake safety and implementing plans to help recover in case of an earthquake. We can also reduced the risk from human induced earthquakes by preparing for natural earthq...
