these. We should know our ole in knowing and finding possible solutions to our environmental issues.

Conclusion:

1. Why do you need to know the status of your environment?

We must know what is going on in our environment, our environment is one of the reasons we are living
safe and healthy so we must always observe what is around us, and identify if we need to change
something. Like for example in our first area, we are having problems with the piles of trash in the
parking area for students and teachers. Those piles of trash will cause diseases and will attract pests.
We have to act and fix immediately the reason causing negativity in our environment, in our case it is
the piles of trash so our solution is to place a different trash bin for recyclable, biodegradable and non-
biodegradable trash.

2. Do you have a role in the progress and problems in your environment? Explain your answer.

Yes, we are the reason why our environment became clean and better and we can also be the reason
for it to have problems and get destroyed. We people have the ability to think and do what is right and
wrong. Example for our first case, where the problem is the piles of trash. If we think about it, the piles
of trash were caused by the people throwing trash in there. Those residents in that area are the reason
why there's a pile of trash there. There is no problem in the first place, but because of the bad habits of
the residents the piles of trash became a problem in the environment. We must act, because we
humans also have the ability to fix and progress our environment, so we will provide a solution to resolve
the problem we caused, and for our case our solution will be placing a different trash bin for recyclable,
biodegradable and non-biodegradable trash.
