Treatments, procedures, and prescription medications are all considered to be free for all citizens. That being said, doctors and other healthcare workers are still given sufficient salaries that can support them. This promotes a sustainable and beneficial system of healthcare.]]> 2021-12-07 04:41:12 UTC https://padlet.com/chelseapecson/q0wwk8mpdi4rfst/wish/1932740456 chelseapecson https://padlet.com/chelseapecson/q0wwk8mpdi4rfst/wish/1932744037 Holistic education speaks of learning that goes beyond simple cognitive tasks. It engages all aspects of the learner: the mind, the body, and the spirit. All educational institutes will seek to provide holistic education for free. This will be funded by the government as well. Both boys and girls will be granted equal opportunities in terms of education. Furthermore, education will cover environmental concepts such as sustainability to increase awareness on this ever-growing issue.]]> 2021-12-07 04:44:38 UTC https://padlet.com/chelseapecson/q0wwk8mpdi4rfst/wish/1932744037 chelseapecson https://padlet.com/chelseapecson/q0wwk8mpdi4rfst/wish/1932865345 This city will be located near the region of Japan. It experiences all four seasons: winter, spring, summer, and fall. All activities by citizens depend on the kind of weather they are experiencing. ]]> 2021-12-07 06:45:05 UTC https://padlet.com/chelseapecson/q0wwk8mpdi4rfst/wish/1932865345 chelseapecson https://padlet.com/chelseapecson/q0wwk8mpdi4rfst/wish/1932866139 The city is also an archipelago, similar to the Philippines. This opens opportunities in terms of livelihood and shelter. ]]> 2021-12-07 06:45:45 UTC https://padlet.com/chelseapecson/q0wwk8mpdi4rfst/wish/1932866139 https://padlet.com/chelseapecson/q0wwk8mpdi4rfst/wish/1933013353 Electric powered cars in general are better for the environment. With the common fuel powered vehicles today, several harmful gases like carbon are emitted into the air. Compared to electric vehicles which produce fewer greenhouse gases and overall less pollution than the use of petrol or diesel. In the US the Tesla is a common electric car and in the Philippines is the Toyota Prius. The adaptation of E-jeeps can be also used in helping the environment and aspect of transportation.]]> 2021-12-07 08:29:53 UTC https://padlet.com/chelseapecson/q0wwk8mpdi4rfst/wish/1933013353 https://padlet.com/chelseapecson/q0wwk8mpdi4rfst/wish/1933047137 Programs that advocate for the use of biking and carpooling can be used to help reduce the pollution of the overcrowding of cars. Programs for biking can be established through a bike rental system, bike marathons to entice more people into biking and also proper construction of bike lanes to ensure bikers they are safe on public roads. For carpooling the city government can coordinate with schools and offices to convince students or workers to carpool. Those who carpool can then be given benefits such as payments for gasoline as incentive to continue carpooling.]]> 2021-12-07 08:54:21 UTC https://padlet.com/chelseapecson/q0wwk8mpdi4rfst/wish/1933047137 https://padlet.com/chelseapecson/q0wwk8mpdi4rfst/wish/1937720934 This is to ensure that farming, fishing, and planting methods are environmental-friendly and treats wildlife and marine animals in a humane and dignified manner. With this being said, practices such as: monoculture, using chemicals, inhumane slaughter methods (using lethal injection, firearms, asphyxiation, and other external trauma), as well as bycatch and overfishing should be banned. In order to do so, legislation needs to be passed imposing heavy penalties towards offenders.]]> 2021-12-09 08:55:30 UTC https://padlet.com/chelseapecson/q0wwk8mpdi4rfst/wish/1937720934 https://padlet.com/chelseapecson/q0wwk8mpdi4rfst/wish/1937723260 With the prevalence of hyper consumerism ( e.g. fast fashion, etc.) and the increasing demand on factories to produce products in a faster pace; child labor, inhumane working conditions, and disregard for human rights have become the norms in industries and corporations. It is important that workers are hired at the right age, given proper wages and working hours, health and government benefits, reasonable quotas, and periods of rest so as to ensure productivity and economic growth while giving workers the respect and benefits they deserve.]]> 2021-12-09 08:56:59 UTC https://padlet.com/chelseapecson/q0wwk8mpdi4rfst/wish/1937723260 https://padlet.com/chelseapecson/q0wwk8mpdi4rfst/wish/1937767285 Instilling accountability for one's actions and personal initiative to do what is right is integral to the improvement of a community. These values can be instilled through strict legislation and implementation, integration in educational curriculums (from the preschool to masters level), as well as through workplace culture and practices. This dynamic will be effective if it trickles down from the highest social classes to the very bottom, which means that no one is exempt from the laws, even the rich and powerful. In fact, it is they who are most expected to practice accountability and initiative since they run the industries and corporations that have the most impact on our environment and society.]]> 2021-12-09 09:26:25 UTC https://padlet.com/chelseapecson/q0wwk8mpdi4rfst/wish/1937767285 https://padlet.com/chelseapecson/q0wwk8mpdi4rfst/wish/1937768304 In order for sustainability and awareness on issues such as climate change and pollution to be present in a community, entities such as: the government, educational institutions, industry, corporations, notable individuals (such as celebrities, influencers, and other people that many look up to) should make sure that they advocate for these issues at all times and in all their endeavors so that the rest of society is inspired to follow suit. When an individual or group of people has/have position/s that hold so much influence on the masses, it becomes their responsibility to present factual information about important social issues that affect everyone and shed light on them in the process.]]> 2021-12-09 09:27:04 UTC https://padlet.com/chelseapecson/q0wwk8mpdi4rfst/wish/1937768304 https://padlet.com/chelseapecson/q0wwk8mpdi4rfst/wish/1937962472 The local government will not only draft an effective, sustainable, and feasible framework to work towards these goals, but will also take concrete action to implement it. Often, even though regulations appear productive on paper, the real problem lies in executing and enforcing it in the real world. Our city’s government is proactive and ethical in its planning and implementing of policies, such as the phasing out or increased taxation on establishments within the city that are harmful, wasteful, and unsustainable; the maintenance of accessible, inclusive, and green public spaces like parks; and the transparent reporting of efforts and progress with the goals to hold themselves accountable to their citizens.]]> 2021-12-09 11:40:15 UTC https://padlet.com/chelseapecson/q0wwk8mpdi4rfst/wish/1937962472 https://padlet.com/chelseapecson/q0wwk8mpdi4rfst/wish/1937963101 The city’s government collaborates with the central government, local government units from other areas, and even non-government bodies such as non-government organizations (NGOs) or those from the private sector to augment and spread the efforts to achieve SDGs 11 and 12 in our city as well as those around us. Recognizing the power of collective action and senselessness of improving only our own area in the fight for the environment and the world, the government helps less developed areas and collaborates to make their efforts all the more effective.]]> 2021-12-09 11:40:43 UTC https://padlet.com/chelseapecson/q0wwk8mpdi4rfst/wish/1937963101 https://padlet.com/chelseapecson/q0wwk8mpdi4rfst/wish/1938981653 Establishing recycling centers where people can dispose of recyclable materials will help to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills and incinerators, as well as the trashes littering in our city. Manufacturers in our city can also save money since they don't have to seek new materials because they can recycle old ones to make new ones. It not only saves energy but also helps to fight climate change by lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, this can help to prevent pollution in our city. Recycling these materials has made a significant contribution to the environment. By considering whether waste can be reused rather than dumped.

Moreover, Waste Management Campaigns that are well-designed and well-developed can help to overcome a lack of understanding about efficient trash segregation. These campaigns will help our people in changing their mindsets and perceptions, as well as keeping them motivated to sort waste.

The first step is sedimentation, which involves suspending insoluble/heavy particles in the wastewater. We can separate the pure water once the insoluble elements have settled to the bottom. Aeration is the second process, which involves pumping air through the water to supply oxygen. Lastly, filtration is now widely utilized to remove all pollutants. To pass the wastewater and separate the contaminants and insoluble particles in it, we can use specific filters such as the sand filter.]]> 2021-12-09 19:17:03 UTC https://padlet.com/chelseapecson/q0wwk8mpdi4rfst/wish/1938991761 chelseapecson https://padlet.com/chelseapecson/q0wwk8mpdi4rfst/wish/1944145396 Because of its location, which is slightly between the Philippines and Japan, our dream city has temperate climate conditions. This entails having an equally-spread amount of rainfall throughout the year.]]> 2021-12-13 10:31:58 UTC https://padlet.com/chelseapecson/q0wwk8mpdi4rfst/wish/1944145396
