Interactions between humans and the environment happen everyday. As humans, we get our resources from the environment. The environment has a finite amount of resources we need to build infrastructures and sources of food and water for our needs of living. But sometimes, these interactions have consequences. Due to pollution, oceans containing plastic debris affecting the marine life, emissions caused by our gas-burning vehicles causing the ozone layer to deplete, climate change. Deforestation causes many living creature to lose their homes, also can cause soil erosion and desertification. If we continue destroying our environment, soon Earth won't be a planet we could live on. As current students, we can spread awareness to those who don't know about climate change and to those who think that it's not a big deal because climate change is in fact a big deal. We can also contribute to recycling plastics so that they don't end up in animals' stomachs. As future leaders, we must be an example to the next generations to come in order to prevent them from doing the same actions that we have done in the past that hurt our environment.

We humans interact with the environment all the time in a way that we know will somehow benefit us. There are a lot of us that are rather ignorant or abusive with the idea of "benefit" like cutting down trees in order to make paper, material, etc. but don't replant the trees that were taken down. As a student, I can advocate disaster readiness and risk reduction through my community by researching to gain more knowledge about the threats these hazards pose in order to know how to stay safe from these and sharing what I learned with friends, family, and others in order to help them stay safe. I can also spread awareness through social media by sharing infographics like these to help more people be informed about the hazards posed, how to react to these hazards and the essentiality of staying alert. As a future leader, I can point out the idea of recycling more to lessen the stress on earth.

Humans interact with the environment through our everyday lives such as the supply of our daily needs, even in our simple ways each and every action that we do has a great impact on the environment. Our environmental interaction is our way of connecting with the entire ecological system. It is also our way to adapt and survive. Basically, we humans depend on the environment for everything.  All of the things we possess today come from our natural resources well in fact as life slowly innovated and modernized the demand for natural resources is increasing and it is also slowly destroying our environment.

Even in my simple actions it  could make a big difference and for us to make a change and correct the wrongdoings we’ve that lead to the destruction of our environment, We should start with ourselves. By simply being a good role model especially to my generation. Learn to be responsible for our actions and be a helping hand in saving our home. We could help protect the environment and ourselves by avoiding activities that are harmful four our surroundings and discipline myself to practice disaster risk mitigation on how to prepare, respond and recover for the disasters that may come along in this way. It could help reduce the harmful effects and most importantly help save lives. If I were to be a leader, a concrete way for me to address the pressing environmental issues we experience is that I will give more attention and study our environment to improve the environmental impact system with the support of our officials and environmentalists and provide measures to avoid and reduce the impact of our natural disasters. We could also develop our rescue system and educate the citizens on how we could avoid these disasters and how to respond.

Humans can interact with the environment in several different ways. Taking advantage of it is one of the most common ones since we use their resources to make our gadgets that we are using today to do classes and everything else. The usage of the environment has lead to harming it and the people who are tasked to get these materials and the more demand these products get, the greedier people become in order to satisfy needs of consumers and themselves. These could lead to many things— global warming, pollution, forest fires, deforestation, animal and plant extinction— all of these are happening and our present leaders aren't solving it any time soon, that's why our generation has to step up in order to at least combat it. We can do this by giving a voice for people who are affected and see all the things happening to our environment. We should support those who lead campaigns against this and move to reduce, reuse and recycle. We can start with changing ourselves and our habits in terms of being used to using things that harm our environment and through that, we can show the world that it's not that hard to change a little so that we can solve this problem.

# data[].attributes.body
Ever since us humans were brought into the world, our curiosity to find or gain new knowledge has negatively affected our environment without us even realizing it. An example is our thirst for economic gain and power. These two things are very dangerous because these two have greatly affected our environment and may have triggered an irreversible chain of events that will sooner or later result in our extinction. Things like global warning is quickly destroying land and marine ecosystems and making the sea levels rise. Our governments always seem to turn a blind eye when discussing this issue. This is not how our governments are supposed to be like because if this continues, us humans and the Earth is truly on the route to global extinction. Although this may seem basic and boring, throwing our trash in the right bins and recycling our plastic waste can benefit my community during typhoons. This is due to the facts that most of us Filipinos throw out trash on the sidewalks. These plastic materials can clog up our drainage systems when a typhoon hits causing a flood. Our habit of cutting down trees can also negatively affect our community because when a tropical typhoon hits our community, trees will not be able to absorb the water brought about by the storm. Thus, also resulting in floods that can damage, hurt or even kill us humans and our properties. Lastly, not having a lot of tree can also affect the quality of the air that we breathe.

# data[].attributes.body
We humans interact with nature and our environment every single day. It is one of the essential parts of our lives that we constantly make use of. This however, can be both positive and negative for the environment. This is due to the fact that we use many natural resources for our daily luxuries such as fuel and electricity, which can cause pollution and damage to our natural resources. Our species has caused a global phenomenon known as, Global Warming which is caused by an increase in temperature that leads to the melting of the ice caps. This is just one example of many problems that we have caused to our climate and our environment and as current students and future leaders, we need to do our part in solving these issues. As a student, we can help raise awareness to those who are unaware of the problems pertaining to climate change. We can create fundraisers, support local environmental organizations and, we can live a better lifestyle not only for ourselves, but for our planet as well. Lastly, as a future leader, we need to set an example to the younger generations of how we should act and how we need to fix the issues that we have caused, and better learn how to prevent and minimize our past mistakes.

Humans interact with the environment by destroying it. These natural disasters are simply nature's way of responding to us. When we use our factories to boost our production power, we pollute the sky with smoke. Nature responds to us with climate change, resulting in hotter summers and colder winters. Another example is littering. When us humans pollute the earth with our trash, it is eventually sent back to us through heavy rainfalls, which result in clogged drains from the trash, causing floods. From these repercussions, we need to learn and develop ways for us to benefit from nature, while still keeping it intact. As a student, I think I can advocate for disaster management by sharing posts on Facebook about the effects of disasters, like people asking for help and rescue from floods. Sharing posts like these will help these people in need by giving it more visibility, and will make the effects of the disaster seen by more people. Then as a future leader, I can continue sorting my trash to recyclables, biodegradable, and non biodegradable. I can also encourage neighbors to do the same by telling them its benefits, and that it doesn't take that much time to do so.

# data[].attributes.body
We humans interact with the environment on a daily basis. We contribute to it positively, like planting trees, and negatively, as in illegally cutting trees. With these kinds of interactions, there is also bound to be a positive and negative result, which is all dependent on our actions.

As a student, I can promote for more positive contributions to the environment, and also hold fundraisers that can be beneficial to nature. As a future leader, I should crack down on those destroying the environment, and I should create laws that are more environmentally friendly.

# data[].attributes.body
We as humans interact with the environment through our everyday activities. With us interacting with the environment resulted with us building, destroying and in the end trying to protect it. As a student I think I do the little things such as properly throwing my trash in the right place. As a future leader, I would like to what other countries are doing such as Singapore where they use cars that use electricity rather than gas which damages the atmosphere. I would also make stricter rules towards throwing trash in the right trash bin.

Humans interacting with the environment is a part of daily life. We build stuff on it, destroy it, and protect it. The outcome of our activities does more harm to the environment than good. As a student even the little things can help, for example this year I have switched all my notes to digital because I realised how much paper I use in a year just from school work. As a future leader I would like to follow the footsteps of other countries like Japan, Singapore, Sweden, and much more for how successful their waste management programs are and how most of their energy is created from the waste they collect.

# data[].attributes.body
The enviroment can be used as something to help us humans.
Although we may use the environment to help us, we can also destroy it in the process.
For example we need paper, but we also have to get rid of trees to get theese. We may take a lot 
from nature, but us people also give back. Us humans need to interact with nature to live. We need 
a lot of resources from it which will help us fulfill our nessities to live. 
As a student, I can advocate for emergency management in my community by spreading awareness on social media
by sharing posts that can help people to prepare for natural disasters. Not only that but, I can also involve
myself with these protocols.
As a future leader, I will promote the care for emergency management.
I will do this because our current leaders didn't do much during the last disaster.
Helping those out in need in the current situation will help a lot, but advocating the protocols 
before a disaster can reduce the risk of people being in danger. 

# data[].attributes.body
For my school project I was tasked to interview a victim of Ondoy in Marikina and write a story out of the answers I got. One of the questions I asked her was "why do you still stay in Marikina when you know it's not safe to live in?" She told me about how it was her home -- how her entire life was established Marikina and that leaving it would mean starting from scratch. This is a universal sentiment shared by climate refugees, They choose to stay despite the circumstances because to them, a home is still a home. But in some cases, it's also a form of survival. Even when disasters wipe out their homes, climate refugees continue to live in harsh areas for the purpose of keeping their jobs and staying close to family.

There is no lie that environmental hazards have taken a toll in human lives. We see this in typhoons like Ulysses, the Bohol earthquake in 2013, and the infamous Yolanda typhoon. However, these events have also made people more socially aware of how their actions are affecting the environment. It's a shame that we have to wait for natural disasters for people to care about the environment but we should also acknowledge the public discourse it has brought about. Now more than ever, people are becoming cautious with their consumption of goods, waste management, and conservation of energy.

As a future leader, I will strengthen policies that prioritise the preservation of environment. Under my leadership, NGOs, public health advocates, urban planners, farmers,  and local scientists will be given autonomy in deciding what policies are implemented and what action is deemed necessary. It will also be of uttermost importance that sustainable habits must be practiced by every citizen in the Philippines. In terms of logistics, the revenues earned from the SIN tax and TRAIN law will fund renewable energy research and green infrastructure. Instead of building more malls, the construction plan will revolve around creating more parks and open spaces. Apart from this being eco-friendly, these spaces will also reduce risk of COVID-19 transmission. I could go on about the ideas in my head right now but the main idea is to rebuild the communities torn by environmental disasters and revive forgotten polices like the National Climate Action Plan, an agenda that was supposed to regulate big industries and adapt to sustainable development.

As human beings, we must know that these types of natural hazards can be inevitable and unpredictable, but just because it's certain that it’s going to happen doesn't mean we aren't the reason for it. Our community has been used to activities that can damage the environment such as cutting down trees, clogging sewers, dynamite fishing, and the like, and we forget about sustainability. We only live in one world, and yet we are ruining and abusing it and can possibly lead to devastation if we don't do anything about it. Rather than being sedentary with all the happenings around the environment, we should partake in any activities that can help us sustain it, just like the United Nations' SDGs. As a student, I can start with my friends and family first in order to gain a small audience to spread the news better. All people should know what to do when any natural hazards hit and when to overcome it. One example would be bringing and sharing a simple, yet convenient GoBag can be beneficial to everyone, especially to people who live in disaster-prone areas. Another idea that I can do is to spread awareness in social media in order to appeal to a wider audience. As a future leader, I may set up campaigns in order to spread awareness of what is happening around us. Since the media is the best way to spread awareness, we can set up any forms such as a TV advertisement, billboards, and the like, so that more people will know what to do to these kinds of problems on our one and only Earth. Overall, the people around the world shouldn't be blinded by what is happening around us every day. We should take action and make the Earth a better place, especially for the next generations to come.

I definitely think it's very interesting how back and forth the relationship is between humanity and the environment is. We can't survive without it yet the other can, and despite this people (more so in other places) still treat it like something disposable, by throwing trash and just generally not giving any care about it. In an almost funny way, the environment fights back through molten rock, ashfall that will clog your lungs, and tsunamis that will decimate cities and fill it up with the trash where it originally came from. As a student, I like many others should advocate not only safety setups on natural disasters but also emphasize how important it is to take care of the environment and make people understand that volcanoes and earthquakes are all-natural and that we have no choice but to accept it. As a future leader, I am expected to advocate CLAYGO and making sure to do my own small part like recycling at home and encouraging others to do the same.

The environment is an essential in the lives of humans as our necessities (i.e. food, water, sunlight, and even shelter) is provided by the environment. Aside from this, plants and trees provide us with sufficient oxygen to breathe and the carbon dioxide that we exhale help in natural processes such as photosynthesis and carbon cycle. On the other hand, our actions can benefit or harm the environment and in return, can also affect us humans. Some of these actions that negatively affect the environment include overconsumption or abuse of natural resources, deforestation, and improper waste management and disposal. These human activities contribute to the occurrences of environmental concerns such as climate change and intensified effects of hazards. However, our activities can also help improve and conserve the environment such as tree planting, recycling of materials, and decrease in use of harmful chemicals or processes in the different industries of the country.

As a student, I can join and support programs and campaigns on environmental awareness in order to have a wider  knowledge on different environmental issues and be more aware and responsible of my actions. Aside from this, I could also share  infographics in different social media sites to spread information and clarify misconceptions about these issues.

As a future leader, I believe that enough funding should be given to the environmental research and development sector in order to expand our knowledge and develop new and efficient ways in conserving the environment while keeping up with the advancement of technology. Alongside this, I can implement enhanced programs and laws on the preservation and protection of the environment and all our natural resources.

Humans interact with the environment almost everyday and some of these are both positive and negative. Mining, deforestation, oil spills and others are just some of the negative effects brought out by us humans. However humans also try to reduce these harmful effects by recycling plastics and other things to reduce pollution, planting trees to help them grow once again and try to use alternative sources of energy like windmills and solar panels to reduce pollution. Raising awareness through social media is one way that I can help  others so that they may be informed and knowledgeable on emergency management. In the future as a leader, I can enforce stricter rules regarding the use of plastics and waste management as well. I could also ban the use of harmful things that harm our environment such as blast fishing.

Humans interact with the environment every day, and some of the results of this interaction are land, water, and air pollution, deforestation, and climate change. Pollution occurs when there is improper disposal of wastes like our trash or the dangerous chemicals used in factories or in farming, and also when factories or vehicles release dangerous greenhouse gases which may also lead to climate change. Deforestation occurs when people cut trees in the forests. The common causes for doing this are often to develop or build subdivisions, factories, or buildings.

As a student, I can advocate for emergency management in my own community starting with my own family by sharing to my parents and siblings how to prepare for emergency situations and what to do during those times. I may also advocate by sharing knowledge about what to do before, during, and after emergency situations through social media which has a larger audience. I can also promote or volunteer in youth organizations that educate people about emergency situations and management, and who help in rescuing or donating to people affected by certain emergencies like natural calamities.

As a future leader, I could increase the prices and taxes for dangerous chemicals used in farming or in manufacturing companies. I would also ask scientists to research or invent substances that may be used as alternatives for the dangerous ones so that I could ban those dangerous chemicals that affect our environment and our health. I would also make sure that there are departments in every city that focuses mainly on caring for and preserving the environment and educating the people about environmental issues and how to avoid them.

Ever since then, humans have been constantly interacting with the environment in many ways and I think the result is the only one changing through the years. There are many ways, planting trees, recycling, avoiding the use of plastic and many more. As a student honestly I can't impact or do a big deed that will change these results but with my simple ways like always throwing trash in the right garbage bin or avoiding the use of plastic, I think I may inspire others. As a future leader it will be very hard knowing that some people don't listen and have their own opinions and perspectives. There are a lot of actions to consider in addressing these environmental issue but I think we can all solve these problems if we are all responsible. I think there won't be any climate changes or issues if we are all responsible and respectful. Responsible with our actions and respecting mother nature God has given us.

Humans interact with the environment in many ways, and these “ways” can be seen as negative/harmful or positive/beneficial to the environment. And sadly in everything that I have been seeing in the news, I think that our environment is being abused for its natural resources, because of the desire of human beings to be rich fast in ways like over-mining, dynamite fishing, and illegal logging; blindly neglecting the needs of the environment and causing disorder in the natural order of life through extreme cases of natural disasters. As a student, I can help save the environment in my own little ways such as trying my very best to use reusable things such as utensils and eco-bags, so that I would not further contribute to the huge amount of trash that is disposed each year. One more way I can think of is by turning off the appliances at home when not in use to reduce my carbon footprint and help lessen the emission of greenhouse gasses which may be harmful to our environment. As a future leader, one thing that I can do to address these issues is by advocating to plant more trees, to lessen the risk of flash floods, landslides and also to make the air we breathe a little fresher.

# data[].attributes.body
As a student, the first step to being an active advocate is by educating myself and the people around me about the current issues and common misconceptions to the society and community. Through this, I can help raise awareness for others to take action for community resiliency. I can also join non-profit organizations that align with my advocacies and that aim to be of aid to communities around the country, especially during times of natural calamities. As a future leader, I can implement laws and taxes on products or services that are detrimental to society and the environment. I can also create environmental education programs that aim to teach others about things happening around us and what we may do before, during, and after a case of a natural calamity.

# data[].attributes.body
Humans interact with the environment simply by existing. We take resources from the environment and shape it to our liking, and to our convenience. This modification has lead to a conflict between the earth's ecosystem and our ways of living. We must learn that the world is a dangerous place and that we can fall victim to natural disasters at any moment. Given my current position as a student, I can spread awareness of these environmental issues through methods of advertising, namely social media. If one were to make a very shareable and informative video ad with a bizarre twist which makes said ad as memorable as say, the recent RC Cola ad, then that would do wonders in getting these messages across. The general public is already more than aware of the effects that the environment has on our living conditions, what with the volcanic eruption followed immediately by a pandemic.

Humans have a huge impact on the environment, albeit not entirely positive. Often times, we take more from the environment that it can handle, which has devastating effects. We mine minerals, cut down trees, and hunt for animals. Minerals have a wide array of uses, and play important parts in our everyday lives. The selling of raw materials obtained from mines strengthens the economy, and improves the livelihood of many people. Paper is a necessity and is used for everything, from the producing of books, to the printing of receipts. Humans eat animal meat, and use their skin to make various products.

When interacting with the environment, we focus on our necessities, and we often forget about the Earth’s needs. We overlook our impact on the planet, and do not realize how much harm we have inflicted. Mining may cause deforestation, the destruction of the habitats of countless animals, and the pollution of our water sources. Cutting down trees increases an area’s susceptibility to landslides and erosion. It also displaces animals, and reduces the biodiversity in the area. Hunting relentlessly will cause certain species to become extinct. Pollution from factories are slowly killing the Earth, causing global warming and stronger typhoons. Fortunately, many are opening their eyes to reality, and the youth, the future of our world, are making an effort to reduce humanity’s effect on the environment.

As a student, I can advocate for emergency management in my community by spreading reliable information to educate others. I believe that sharing useful facts on social media can help in promoting awareness about this issue. People need to learn about emergency management in order for them to realize its importance, and be more prepared for natural disasters. I will help my family prepare for emergencies, and influence other households to do the same. As a future leader, I will start to address pressing environmental issues by educating myself so that I will be able to help the world as best as I can. I will make sure that I am up-to-date by reading articles about the Earth’s state, so that I can help address the specific needs of our environment. Not supporting brands with indecorous business practices early on in my life will help me become more aware of companies with similar values later on in life. This knowledge will be useful in the future, where I will need to lead and influence people properly. We live in the digital age, which is why using social media to promote awareness, inspire action, and educate others is crucial. In addition, I will strengthen my values and advocacies by joining organizations with thrusts in biodiversity and environmental awareness. Through exposing and educating myself about the realities of our world, then spreading my knowledge with others, I believe that I can become a leader that cares, not only for others, but for the world as a whole.

The interaction of humans with the environment has brought more harm than good. Humanity has become rather negligent and wasteful of the resources that are now slowly depleting over time. With our excessive consumption habits towards the resources, it will only be a matter of time until meeting our basic needs will also be a difficult task for us. The environment is currently being taken advantage of, with humans failing to see the amount of damage they have done to the environment. This has led to problems we currently have no solutions to that has negatively affected a lot of people.

As a student, I can advocate for emergency management in my own community by being knowledgeable about the said advocacy and follow protocols. I can also social media as a platform wherein I can spread awareness of the problems our environment is facing and how we can help in finding solutions for it.

As a future leader, I would allocate and provide more resources towards creating feasible solutions for environmental problems at hand. I would also like to create a program wherein the people affected by any environmental hazard, such as floods, earthquakes and the like are prioritized and given opportunities to be able to support themselves again

There are certain figures that promote protecting the environment and help fight against global warming. But there are people against these and they'll choose to continue harming the environment. Simply cutting trees without replanting can cause such a huge difference in our world. This could lead to flooding in certain areas and it can also cause climate change. Knowing this, I would promote in multiple platforms the planting of trees in order to make our world better. There are multiple environmental issues but I think I would start with how waste is handled. Without properly organizing the waste that humans produce, it can harm the environment like in the ocean where a lot of waste are seen. A small piece of plastic can end a fish's life and potentially harm everything else. I would come up with a program that specializes in collecting these wastes and cleaning our planet in small steps.

# data[].attributes.body
There are a variety of human actions that can be forecasted or predicted with enough evidence and observation. However, there are numerous cases that our activities could have unforeseen effects. An activity such as constructing houses or infrastructures could have a negative in the future, especially if they are plotting on an area that is prone to soil erosion. Take the case of Benguet, known for its high population count and its classification as a catch basin tends to create landslides and floods. Considering the presence of a pandemic and the existence of quarantine restrictions, as a student, I could only share a post which employs safety tips and guidelines about preparing for a natural disaster such as a  typhoon, which is a yearly occurrence here in the Philippines. On the other hand, as a future leader, I can advocate for a program that supports proper housing for those affected by floods and other natural disasters. Moreover, it should accommodate the homeless to decongest areas wherein the population is dense and that have an environment that is vulnerable to human activity.

Humans interact with the environment on a day to day basis, some of the results of their interaction are Pollution caused by the improper disposal of trash and other harmful chemicals, and Global warming caused by the excessive production of greenhouse gasses that damage our atmosphere. Both of these issues also play a role in causing natural disasters

As a student I can advocate for emergency management through my community by spreading awareness on social media on proper protocols on how to prepare before a natural disaster strikes and how to act during one, I can also share pages or accounts to follow through social media of government organizations that are supposed to handle these kinds of situations. Aside from spreading awareness on social media, I can also volunteer in none government organizations (NGO) that cater to emergency management.

As a future leader, to address the pressing environmental concerns I would create new departments within the government that will focus solely in solving these issues found in the Philippines, I would also increase their budget to widen their resources in fixing the problem.

There are many ways to how humans interact with mother nature which can be either beneficial or harmful. This can be harmful because of the irresponsible acts some people do and some examples are deforestation, overpopulation, and burning of fossil fuels. These have now caused climate change, poor air quality, and undrinkable water which will affect us in the long run. To fix this problem, as highschool students, we should promote and share to the public as to how we should truly taker care of our environment. As a future leader, i will focus on advocating for the betterment of our environment by spreading messages of big environmental or sustainable organizations here in the philippines.

Our interactions with the environment could either benefit or either take a toll on the way we live our lives. Whatever we do with the environment will affect us in some way or another. An example of this Deforestation; this is a huge factor in causing various natural disasters such as floods, landslides, and droughts. To fix this problem, we should promote proper habits of taking care of the environment and idolize other countries for the betterment of our country's condition. A simple way to do this is to use sustainable items that help the environment by as using reusable everyday items. As a future leader, I must advocate proper care for the environment by promoting messages from environmental organizations here in the Philippines.

Humans and the environment work with each other in an ecosystem. That said, humans often commit harmful actions that disrupt this harmony. We often use materials like plastic and styrofoam, harming not only the environment but also the animals who live here. We use too much fossil fuels, and many still aren't aware of the harm they cause. Despite this, however, in recent years, scientists have been coming up with eco-friendly alternatives, and many people have been trying to do better and change their harmful habits. Knowledge precedes action. As a student, I can advocate for emergency management in my community by sharing awareness and informative posts about disaster preparedness and protocols on social media. I can also attend programs that help people in my community who have been affected by natural calamities to be safer and more prepared in the future. As a future leader, on the other hand, I can attend seminars, do research, or pay attention in science class so that I can learn more about what harms and benefits the environment and correct any misinformation I may have about it. The earlier I correct my environmentally harmful habits, the more I will be able to help the environment. I can also tell my friends, family, and the people around me what I know so that we can all be more conscious about the activities we do every day and how they help or harm the environment. I can actively participate and advocate for the funding and support in the eco-projects currently provided by my school or my city.

We humans are in continuous interaction with the environment surrounding us as we depend on them for our survival, but there are times when we take advantage of such resources, that results to their deterioration. Yes, there are also positive effects of our interaction with the environment such as people finding ways to save our resources by creating renewable energy resources, we can also gain economic advantage from it through eco-tourism, etc. We may depend on our environment for survival but sometimes, we take advantage of it, and eventually destroying it in the long run. Humans have caused disasters to the ecosystem often overlooking the impact that will devastate them as well. Actions such as deforestation led to soil erosion and flooding, dynamite fishing led to the loss of aquatic biodiversity, and many more. As a student, I will start my advocacy with myself by educating myself, and joining organizations that are meant to promote and spread awareness about the disasters we may experience and how to manage them. As a future leader, I will start the change for the better with myself by doing the simplest acts of observing the 3R's, avoiding fast fashion brands that contribute to global pollution, conserving energy and resources by not wasting any of them, choosing to walk instead of using other vehicles as transportation if feasible, and encouraging the people around me to do these things as well.

The earth is one of a kind and has been named as the miracle planet. It is unique because it has all the right conditions for life to exist. As the Anthropocene era arises, the earth continues to deteriorate because of our selfishness and desire to claim the earth as our own. Pollution, Deforestation and our continued emission of greenhouse gases has only led to our demise causing calamities such as extreme typhoons and severe droughts.

As a student, it is essential to advocate for emergency management in my community in order to adapt and decrease the number of damages and liabilities. Through thorough research and spreading awareness such as using social media platforms, I will be able to reach more people and inform them about the importance of being alert and knowing how to manage hazards and reduce risks especially during calamities.

As a future leader, concrete actions such as following the 3R’s, avoiding the use of plastic, and conserving our natural resources such as water and electricity can provide substantial benefits in the near future. Initiating and volunteering for cleanups or environment-related  projects will also be of great help. Through these actions, I will be able to become a great example for others in order for people especially the youth to be more concerned and involved in saving our planet. We are the true hazards and it is up to us to choose whether to become self-centered or heroes that will save future generations and preserve the only home that we have.

Humanity's interaction with nature is both good and bad. Good in ways that we  humans innovate through nature and its resources, and also protect nature by using our man-made technology. However, we use a lot of non-renewable energy that is destructive to the environment, we consume a lot from nature without a thought that potentially harms the earth. In addition, nature may provide for us, but nature can also harm us through natural hazards.

Needless to say, human and environment interactions will continue to happen since we need each other, although we also may cause harm to each other.

As a future leader, I will prioritize on advocating, alternative energies to use other than non-renewable energies. I will use my voice to amplify voices to address problems in the environment that needs to be addressed not just to help the world but humanity itself.

Humans and the environment have an inalienable relationship. In fact, we, humans, are labelled as  caretakers or stewards of the environment yet we constantly take this job for granted. We hurt, damage, and ruin the earth for personal gains such as deforestations, pollution, excessive mining, drilling, burning of fossils and more. As a student, I can advocate for emergency management by simply getting myself involved. I will follow their protocols and also make sure that I have knowledge, albeit basic, on disaster risk management. Not only that but I will volunteer in their activities and participate as much as I can for the benefit of the community.

As a future leader, I aspire to be as charismatic and driven as the late Gina Lopez when it comes to pressing issues on the environment. Like her, I would advocate in diminishing excessive mining, preserving wildlife, and sustainable use of the earth’s resources. Nonetheless, the concrete action that I would implement is having an affective drainage system in communities and fight in protecting forests and mangroves that prevents floods, landslides, erosions, and more. Also, I would encourage schools to constantly invoke on their students to care for the environment while achieving sustainable development goals. This is because not only do we neglect the environment when we become too reckless but also the poor as well.

There are countless of ways for humans to interact with our environment, but these interactions are not always for the good of our environment seeing that there are irresponsible individuals who mindlessly destroy our environment. If this happens to continue throughout time, the future generations of mankind would deeply suffer from the wrongdoings of the people who slowly demolish the good qualities that Earth has to offer. Even though there are people who do not contribute to the fall of Earth, it is still wrong for them to sit back and watch others destroy it. As a student, I would try and be an example for the future generations so that they can learn how to take care of our planet. I can also be an example to the people around me by joining advocates such as the Environmental Defense Fund, or the Sierra club. And as a leader, I could encourage people to save Earth seeing that by then, I would have sufficient knowledge on how to possibly care for our environment.

Human interaction with the environment consists of numerous outcomes which may be considered good or bad. Through the years, humanity has been able to use different elements and parts of the environment to become of great use due to the fact that it contains the resources we need to survive. It even has led to the building of industries and businesses. Although as time continues to progress and our needs for these resources increase due to the constant increase of our population, we also became selfish and greedy to our needs to the point that exploitation has become a practice by most people and businesses. Acts such as deforestation, the burning of fossil fuels, exceeding demand for water supply, insufficient sanitation on humans, and many more, leads to the depletion of resources, especially for non-renewable resources. As a result, if you continue to proceed with these practices, the environment will continue to react in certain ways that will not exactly benefit us. It can cause different disasters such as earthquakes, typhoons, landslides, wildfires, or droughts which can lead to many people losing their homes, infrastructures destroyed, injury, and even death of lots of people depending on the severity.

As a student, I can advocate for emergency management in my own community by starting different drives by using different social media platforms for awareness. With my target audience will be children and students who are looking to standing up for their environment. I can start by providing and researching about articles that feature current problems including the state of the country while battling COVID and other things to be aware of beyond the virus. After this, I will be posting different ways on how they can prepare for emergencies including weekly reminders in order to maintain their progress.

As a future leader, I will be continuing different very simple actions that will become a big help for the environment. Actions such as conserving energy through not turning on air conditioners and lights that much and utilize they daylight and cool air especially during these months, turning the faucet off when I am not needing it, and more. At the same time, I will be encouraging people in my community starting with people in my household to utilize all the provided natural resources correctly. I will also be using my knowledge and skills to continue spreading awareness to the public about the different situations and what we can do to help minimize different risks due to pollution.

The way us humans interact with the environment causes a cycle of us depleting the environment and being able to sustain it. The rapid development of our society has taken a toll on our natural resources and has caused a significant "imbalance" on the environment, and this imbalance has led to significant change that not only affect us but every other organism that we share the planet with. I believe that it is important that we humans learn to be more sustainable and continue to develop different ways of renewable collection of our natural resources, and as future leaders of society, we need to be able to set an example as advocates of the environment and help to the future generations even in small ways such as lessening our carbon footprint or using more sustainable means of living through our daily lives.

Every living thing on this planet is dependent on the environment it lives in. Humans need to interact with the environment to be able to obtain food, water, fuel, and other necessities necessary for one’s survival. Throughout the years, we humans have grown to a level of over-dependence on the resources we could get from our environment and it takes a huge toll and greatly influences the causes of different hazards to happen and impacts the sustainability of the planet we live in.

As a student, I believe that we are all bound to be stewards of His creation and ensure the protection of the welfare of the community and the environment that provides us with so many wonderful and useful things. Through simple acts of segregating trashes, recycling papers, and growing plants at the safety of our homes, this could lead to the conservation of our natural resources going into the landfills and help maintain our atmosphere that would eventually benefit the community and the planet we all live in. Through conserving these natural resources we could promote a more sustainable environment, thus eliminating the probable cause of different disasters. Another way is the proper use of social media as a means to regularly be informed of the current updates in our environment and share this with my community. As a youth, I could serve as a means and an instrument to make our community a more informed and prepared unit.

As a future leader, I would like to reinforce legal policies concerning the following of 3R's and the use of natural resources and advocate for the use of renewable energy to conserve natural resources and produce electricity with fewer implications to the environment.

Humans interacting with the environment can usually lead to one of two results, helping it out or destroying it. For a long time, we've been slowly destroying this environment, but at the same time, we've been helping it out too. I feel like these two actions coming together lead the environment into a sort of strange equilibrium where nothing gets destroyed or fixed for the better at the same time, just staying in the same state. As a student, I can advocate for emergency management in my community by giving seminars and conferences about what can be done for our environment and community so that it may change for the better. As a future leader, I can help fix these issues by starting environment-strengthening services and advocating for alternate methods to actions that usually destroy the environment.

There are several ways in which humans interact with the environment. This may include modifying it that causes positive or negative results and getting their needs in the environment to be able to survive. These interactions may cause the environment to be severely damaged which may cause different problems such as pollution, deforestation, soil erosion, and more. These results can also affect how humans live in the world. As a student, what I can do is spread and disseminate correct information about what is happening in the world. This causes awareness to the people and may possibly influence others to help and support different organizations that aim to improve the quality and state of our environment. As a leader, I would prioritize taking care of the environment by hiring and funding people who's willing and capable of leading the change such as people who mastered in different fields. By doing so, I can ensure that our solution will truly solve or lessen the problems that our environment have.
