Tampakan Copper GOLD Project

A Copper Gold project which will result to a mass and vast distortion of environmental balance for the area and also for the living of the people who lives near by the site. This kind of project is an example of the companies who only thinks for their personal progress. The main reason why humanity fall is because we have no care for what the creator gave us. The main purpose of living is to take care of other people and to our planet. This project will harm lots of things, first the environment, it will take a lot of time digging and digging and as the time pass by mass pollution will produce, from land, water and air, many animals will live difficulty around the site area. For humans, lots of them have disagree with the project and provoke rallies. The reason is that the people who live their will have no more livelihood business, their farm will be destroyed and they will  be relocated. The way of their living will be changed, from nothing they are to tend to strive more than the way before they were relocated.

The government should not accept this project because this will only lead to degeneration of the nature, instead of regenerating it these people plan this thing to happen for their personal happiness. People should understand the meaning of life that the creator gave us, be contented what we have and do not disturb the balance of the nature in order to gain self prosperity. 

People must wake up for the ultimate truth, they do not know that happiness cannot achieve through greediness. Be aware of the life forms that surround and learn why they live, because i believe that someday, a catastrophic event will devour us humans who did not taken care of our nature.

Environmental laws

IGNORANCE, the main reason why people keep on maintaining the unbalanced world we have right now, the destruction of our planet comes from that reason because we humans are too stubborn and selfish all the time. To make the people understand all the things we must taken care off, we oblige to proclaim laws in order to regain the balance in this world.

Source: COMMONS IGNORANCE:
THE FAILURE OF ENVIRONMENTAL LAW TO
PRODUCE NEEDED INFORMATION ON
HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT

"One of the most significant problems facing environmental law is the dearth of scientific information available to assess the impact of industrial activities on public health and the environment. After documenting the significant gaps in existing information."

Before doing such action, must first need to experience things such as the negative effect of their ignorance to the nature, such as pollution, calamities, sickness and etc. people must first learn their lesson in order to take a move.

Through Environmental Laws, people will tend to be more responsible in to their action, a proper way of harvesting our mother nature with out too much damage and at the same time is to regain what's lost for her, our mother earth. People must preserve the environment which left for us, we must protect it from the people who consume it selfishly. People must interact with other people who have concern in this so the network will outgrow the network of the people who only want is to consume our nature.

The Responsibility

                    There are some classroom facilities problems that I believe are not given enough attention. Some of which are broken door knob, broken window glass, broken tables and arm chair, malfunction of air conditioners and fan, and sometimes there is no janitor to clean the room. These small problems may lead to bigger ones and of course may give a bad image to the school. For example, in case of fire if a door knob is broken, it will be difficult to leave the room immediately. Broken window glass and broken tables and arm chair may cause serious injury while malfunction of air conditioners and fan may cause discomfort due to warm temperature especially considering the climate in our country. Also, though I believe that keeping the cleanliness of a classroom is a responsibility of the students, it will be a good help if there’s a janitor that will clean the room from time to time as not many students are disciplined enough to keep their room neat and tidy.

                     Given these circumstances, it can all be solve by simple carpentry and replacements. A broken door knob may easily be replaced with a new one. A broken window glass may also be replaced without having to remove the whole window but just a portion of it. A broken table and arm chair can be fixed by simple carpenter work and a malfunctioning air conditioner or fan may just be cleaned or checked if there’s a bigger problem. Meanwhile, janitors can run on a strict schedule to keep classrooms clean.

                   These simple problems if solved can be of a great help to make the room more conducive to learning. The students will feel safer, there will be no discomfort and distraction. The students could just solely focus on the lecture and not mind if anything is broken or unclean.

Coal Fired Thermal Power Plant

The Pagbilao Coal-Fired Thermal Power Plant

 

 

 

 

 

 

Power plants are the main source of energy to our country, Philippines, through out the Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Recently a plenty of problems occur that causses the other Power Plants across the country to stop its operattion, due to lack of other source of energy they are force to shutdown.

 

Now the National Power Corporation (NPC) signed to Build-Operate-Transfer contract with Hopewell Power (Phils) Corp. (HPPC) to build a coal fired plant to operate fo 25 years but due to he country Environmental Law this plant will engage also to an environmental problems  that obiusly will result to a pollution, since the plant is being run by the coal, a lots of pollutants will produce and the more the pollutant a plant will produce the more it became not eco friendly and not applicable for its use.

 

 

 

In order to prevent this action, these people may use an alternattive for coal, less pollution and yet more eco-friendly. To make it more usefull to the environment people must also consider the harm i may produce to the environment.

 



The Atmosphere

The Atmosphere

What is Atmosphere?

         We all know what is atmosphere already but to refresh the minds of my reader i will simply tell what is atmosphere. The atmosphere is just a layers of different gasses which help us to prevent excessive amount of radiation from  reaching our planet. These layers consists of Oxygen, Nitrogen, and many other gaseous elements. With these layers of gaseous elements we as a living creature we are able to survive this planet. But unfortunately, our atmosphere are engaging to a very serious problem that may result for us humans and other living creatures to this planet DIE, The climate change.


How does the climate change occur?
Lets start firs at the so called GREENHOUSE GASSES. What is the Greenhouse Gasses?

         Many gaseous chemicals compound in our earths atmosphere and these gasses are called the greenhouse gasses. These gasses allows the sunlight pass through the earth and landed to the earth surfaces and some of this are reflected back to the space as Heat or infrared radiation, these greenhouse gasses absorbs this heat and trap it to the atmosphere. Over time, the vast quantity of energy sent from the sun to the earth's surface should be the same as the amount of energy radiated back to the space and leaving the temperature of the earths surface constant. Greenhouse gasses properties some of them shows in the nature such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide and others are exclusively human made like gasses used for aerosols.

Mars have a very thin atmosphere while the Venus has a thicker atmosphere and our planet, earth, has only the exact amount. meaning to say in mars human will have a difficult way of living because this planet will give as a shivering planet, a very cold planet while in Venus, an atmosphere would produce hellish or a hot surroundings and also not suitable for human to live. Instead, parts of our atmosphere act as an insulating blanket of just the right thickness, trapping sufficient solar energy to keep the global average temperature in a pleasant range. The Martian blanket is too thin, and the Venusian blanket is way too thick! The 'blanket' here is a collection of atmospheric gases called 'greenhouse gases' based on the idea that the gases also 'trap' heat like the glass walls of a greenhouse do. Now, knowing what is the Greenhouse Gasses now we should knowing the bad effect of it, The Climate Change.

THE CLIMATE CHANGE

Excessive heat stores in our planet and surrounds us and our planet which results to a unbalance reaction to the environment. The season change unexpectedly and over rated of temperature feels. Heat wave kills people over the tropical countries, the ice caps of the planets starts to melt and will result to the islands and maybe continents to sink and if that happen many people will die. 

       Now to prevent these to happen is up to us human how will we prevent it, its up to you my dear reader to search about how these problem to stop. Make your knowledge grow and armed yourself for the near future destruction of our planet.

The Lithosphere

The Lithosphere

What is Lithosphere?

         If we dissect our planet into half we will see that our planet is made up of several kind of layers namely the core which is at the center (consisting of inner and outer core), the mantle (consisting  of the upper and lower mantle), and the crust which the outer most part of layers and where every land dwelling lifeforms stands. The core is made up of iron. The mantle consist of molten rocks called magma which moves continuously because of the convection currents. and the crust is the outer hard layer that covered or floats on the magma of the mantle. it is the upper part of the mantle and the crust that make up the lithosphere.

         The lithosphere is one of the very important part of the plant for us humans because this is the ground where every land dwelling creatures including us where can easily access and live in. This part of the planet that support every each of us for supplying our wealth of materials in creating such things, from its minerals and agricultural necessities. But unfortunately, we humans tend to abuse these things that comes to the ration that the consuming of the earths environment is greater than reproducing it. These may leads us from catastrophic nature disruptions.

          The common problems that the humans create to destroy our last standing ground is undying pollution  caused by improper disposal or just simply dumping of toxic chemicals on the soil such as animal excretion, fertilizers, garbage and nuclear waste which may results to a soil contamination. This may effect to dying of organism, plants, insects and animals and even us may affect to these pollution's. Deforestation, cutting of trees for personal consumption of the wealthy companies which may result to soil erosion, greater flood, infertility of the soil and etc.

Soil Contamination

Improper disposal of Garbage

Nuclear Disposal

DEFORESTATION!

         These problems can be solve by us and only us humans which is the one who contribute more for destroying our environment, we are the one of capable of thinking on such things to help these planet because this last ground is the place we are only can live. In able to survive the calamities that we may face in the future we must first understand the nature of lithosphere and how to take care of it so we know how we can handle the different kind of calamities that  may happen and then curing the forest is the first priority as for now because as i can see many forest are starting to corrode when great storm are coming because of poor strength of the soil holding the ground and the only way to strengthen it is by planting tress so when it grows the water from the rain will  be drink by these trees which has been cut by us. 

         We human must take care of our resources because when the time come that our nature is destroyed we will no longer capable of living this planet anymore.

The Hydrosphere

The Hydrosphere

What is Hydrosphere?

    The hydrosphere is the liquid component or water component of our planet Earth. It consist the Streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, seas and Oceans. The home of the aquatic plants and animals and many other organism that lives in the water, The hydrosphere covers about 70% of the earths surface.

The hydrosphere is the source of life of plants, animals and us, the humans.

The problem engaging with the Hydrosphere.

      The hydrosphere has a very important role that extremely plays as for survival of life on our planet, earth and a unique properties of water that allows various important chemical processes to take place which would otherwise not be possible. Unfortunately for us however, there are several number of factors that affects or threaten our hydrosphere and most of it are the cause of us people or because of human activities such as pollution and overuse.

Oil Spillage

The Harm to the Animals

The pollution of Humans

         

         According to everything science.co.za, a website that discusses the harm and the solution for any parts of our biosphere says that, "Pollution of the hydrosphere is a major problem. When we think of pollution, we sometimes only think of things like plastic, bottles, oil and so on. But any chemical that is present in the hydrosphere in an amount that is not what it should be is a pollutant. Animals and plants that live in the Earth's water bodies are specially adapted to surviving within a certain range of conditions. If these conditions are changed (e.g. through pollution), these organisms may not be able to survive. Pollution then, can affect entire aquatic ecosystems. The most common forms of pollution in the hydrosphere are waste products from humans and from industries, nutrient pollution e.g. fertiliser runoff which causes eutrophication (an excess of nutrients in the water leading to excessive plant growth) and toxic trace elements such as aluminium, mercury and copper to name a few. Most of these elements come from mines or from industries." 

Overuse of water. Few percentage of our hydrosphere is pure or freshwater, and freshwater is only humans can drink safely however, despite of our daily consumption, humans constantly to consume more and more water up to come to the point where the water consumption is fast approaching the amount of water that us present. In some country this situation is a quite serious problem because their source of water is quite difficult to acquire and starts to run out, the reason is their location is at the dry part of the planet where drought is present and the other reason is their population starts to grow and grow more which may result in the near future of a water shortage.

        The solution for all of this problem, first humans first must understand the natural flow or cycle of our hydrosphere and learn how life forms live through this. Secondly human must stop polluting our hydrosphere because in the near future it can be a problem also for us. We also should and must conserve water, use it wisely. 

The Sustainable Society

To Achieve a sustainable society i decided as a consumer i will lessen to buy

things that would produce a harmful cuase and effect to the environment.

First i will lessen to buy things that has a non-biodegradable things like

buying groceries i will rather to bring paper bags than using plastic bags

because plastic bags have a non-biodgeradable property and will decay for a long

period of time. Buying foods with styrofore that also decay for a long period of

time, Fruit juice drinks in a tetra pack, instead of buying lots of it id rather

to buy a 1 pack of powdered juice that can produce as many as the boxes of a

tetra pack can.etc.

Secondly i will promote a clean living society or convince other to advocate a

environmental friendly society for us to progress and diminish the pollution to

our planet that already dying. Talk to other people that carelessly trash their

garbage improperly, make them to understand what is happening to our mother

earth.

In these simple ways i can be a change to this society, i can be the eye opener

to the other people, i wrote only few things on this part because at this moment

that is the simplest and yet efficient way on helping our planet to survive and

and i believe that all the people will understand these things because they know

that their future child and grandchildren will not able to witness the beauty of

this planet anymore.
