Participating in a Clean-up Drive

Last 2018 our section "Baby Blue" we have a conducted organisation which is to do a clean-up drive in backyard of our room.

We are a product of our environment. Therefore, we should take good care of it for our behavior towards our environment will return to us also. As we conducted our Clean-up drive along the backyard of our room, I realized that it was not easy to pick garbage under the horrible and terrific heat of the sun. As I felt the pain on my skin, some ideas have came out of my mind. The changes of the climate was a result of our behaviors also. The throwing and burning of trash from here, there, everywhere. I doubt that somebody will deny that he practiced that habit, especially here in Philippines. 

"Cleanliness isn't a matter of products and things; cleanliness is a matter of diligence and effort by people. Keeping public places as clean as possible on an individual basis, a public willing to pay for what individuals can't keep clean or clean up, public education for what are or aren't good practices, and to help keep the public informed when and where specific problems need to be addressed."

This activity had given me an opportunity to become a more productive individual, concerning on how to care and how to be responsible in our community and environment. Presenting and engaging such activities is indeed of great help to our community if we only know how important every action we do. Through this advocacy, we can now share our little contribution and part in a more meaningful and significant way. With this concern, we could create an outlet to everyone who share the same views and passion in sharing their own effort and own little way to protect and maintain the natural environment through clean-up drive . 

 Being part of this advocacy, it is a pleasure to have a chance to do and contribute something in our community. It's not easy  to plan as well as to conduct an advocacy that can really helps in our community.

  As we gone through this activity, I can say it's more than enough that you could share and made a history to our community. And I'll promise to myself that, it is not just an activity given by our professor that to accomplish but it will be  a part of my daily life that in my own simple way I can contribute something that can maintain the beauty of our nature. I learned a lot of things through this course, especially on how be a part of our community.

 This Problem Based Learning activity has given me a great help on deepening my environmental advocacy. Thanks for this unforgettable experiences. I would like to encourage everyone to be a partakers of making our environment clean and green. The world we live depends upon us. God bless us all.
