Introduction
Background and Theoretical Framework of the Study
Environmental management refers to the management of the interaction and impact of
human activities on the natural environment also it is a purposeful activity with the goal to
maintain and improve the state of an environmental resource affected by human interactions.
Environmental issues are becoming more serious and dangerous. Many environmental
problems are surrounding people in everyday life, which people don’t know about or they never
paid attention for it. Environmental Management offers research on use and conservation of
natural resources, protection of habitat and control of hazards. Spanning the field of
environmental management without regard to traditional disciplinary boundaries. Humanity is
responsible for ensuring that its environmental impacts are benign rather than catastrophic.
(Anarfi, 2009).
Before the environment got damaged by the hands of mankind, the lands are full of
growing trees, unseen plastic to our beloved sea, beautiful sky that glistens to our eyes. In the
past, mankind helped each other to maintain the beauty of the environment. Full grown trees,
fresh air, the clean and vast sea, balance of weather and the unity of mankind. There is a huge
difference between the environment today and the past.
The need to study the environmental management is an important perspective in the
current scenario. Environmental stress is becoming severe day by day. Degradation of
environmental poses a serious threat to humanity. For use of resources are limited, appropriately
and reasonable use of resources, environmental management is necessary. Environmental

management is required for sustainable development without destruction or overuse of natural
resources and to reduce pollution and degradation of nature. For economic need and values is
required to give new directions and at the same time to maintain clean environment.
This study is anchored at the theory of disposal of hazardous wastes creates major
economic and environmental problems for both developed and developing nations. (Linderman,
2003) Management of the environment is a critical role component for any health care provider.
Turmoil, multiple relationships, and new ways of “doing business” characterize today’s health
care system, and traditional management techniques based on Newtonian Physics may no longer
be effective. (Valadez et al 1999).
This study focuses on the Level of Environmental Management among Grade 12
Senior High School Students and important needs for suitable environment friendly practices
among the students towards optional use of resources so as to develop the sense of responsibility
towards eco development and sustainability.

Review of Related Literature and Studies
In order to determine the data and information to be authentic and legitimate, the
correlation of the level of environmental management among senior high school students of Iloilo
City National High School SY 2019-2020 will be confirmed and validated with the following
precursor studies that were conducted and gathered information from different locations both
local and foreign in varying degrees of interpretation and different methods of data gathering and
methodology which have a definite relation and resemblance that can aid in the development of
researcher’s current study.
Solid Waste Management – Case Study
This study confirms that the maximum proportion of refuse caused by food and garden
wastes, proportion of the reuse caused by food and garden wastes, second highest was paper and
the third highest was inert material. Percentage of plastic carry bags was higher, where glass,
ceramic and metals were nearly equal with each other.
(https://www.researchgate.net/publication/262521306)
The Impacts of Water Conservation Strategies on Water Use: Four Case Studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of four water conservation pilot strategies on water
use. As is inherent to many small-scale pilots, the datasets for these demonstration projects tend
to be small, variable, and exhibit non-normal distributions and demonstrate the application of
mostly nonparametric statistical methods for their ability to enable sensible inferences to be
drawn, in some cases, even from the very small samples.

The Economic Benefits of Recycling in Virginia
This study confirms urban and highly populated areas are not only more likely to recycle,
but along with low income localities, they are able to use available funding most efficiently due
to the presence of economies of scale. While state dollars usually result in higher recycling
performance, the relationship between local budget and recycling performance is less clear.
(https://www.wm.edu/as/publicpolicy/documents/prs/deq.pdf)
CDM Afforestation and Reforestation Project Activities
This study shows importance to better our understanding of local people's socioeconomic
matters. Conservation of endangered species and primary vegetation species and the problem of
alien species, including GMOs, will be major challenges. Good understanding will allow
accurate predictions of CDM afforestation and reforestation project's socioeconomic impacts on
local people, minimize leakage with fair management systems, and help projects succeed.
(https://www.nies.go.jp/biology/pasoh/topics/report/CDMproceedings_PDF/10_studies_and.pdf)
Environmental Management Practices
This study shows a wide variety of EMPs exists and that practices can be found at
multiple levels of the firm and discusses if a more comprehensive approach integrating the
practices at all levels compared with an approach that focuses on a single practice or a single
level of practices. EMPs are multi-dimensional and include tactical, operational, and strategic
activities. (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/263569481)

How to Dispose of Waste
According to Gorilla Bins’ blog proper waste management is important to avoid
contamination, especially when the waste is hazardous. But more importantly, households and
businesses should exercise waste minimization or waste avoidance, which involves recycling old
items, repair items, donating items no longer in use, avoiding the use of disposable items, etc. to
reduce the amount of waste that will end up in landfills. (https://gorillabins.ca/blog/2016/12/)
Benefits of Water Conservation Why We Should Care About Saving Water
Water conservation means using our limited water supply wisely and caring for it
properly. Since each of us depends on water to sustain life, it is our responsibility to learn more
about water conservation and how we can help keep our sources pure and safe for generations to
come. It minimizes the effects of drought and water shortages. It guards against rising costs and
political conflict. It helps to preserve our environment. It makes water available for recreational
purposes. It builds safe and beautiful communities.
(https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/ees.2017.0157)
What are the benefits of Recycling?
Landfills are ill-equipped to handle the amount of trash dumped each year. For this
reason, overflow is sent to incinerators. Certain waste releases toxic chemicals into the air when
burned, wreaking havoc on the environment. Recycling also decreases our dependence on natural
resources like certain minerals, water and wood, of which there is a finite supply. Oil can be
recycled countless times. If we chose not to recycle oil, we would need to consume it at a much
higher rate in order to support the economy. Since recycling reduces the carbon footprint of
industrialization via reduction and reuse of materials already in circulation, it is also effective in
14
the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions created by manufacturers. (Residential Waste Systems,
2013)
Implications for Reforestation and Land Restoration
Tropical forests provide a variety of goods and services to humanity. Although efforts to
protect and manage these forests have increased in recent decades, forest loss continues.
Advances in knowledge have led to increasingly sophisticated reforestation treatments as well as
novel ways of deriving goods and services from human dominated landscapes.
(https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378112710007115)
Environmental Management
Environmental management is not easy to define. As Barrow (2005) has acknowledged, it
can refer to a goal or vision, to attempts to steer a process, to the application of a set of tools, to a
philosophical exercise seeking to establish new perspectives towards the environment and human
societies, and to much more besides. Indeed, environmental management involves all people to
some extent because all human activities ultimately have some sort of environmental impact.
However, some individuals are more directly involved with resource use, and some special
interest groups are particularly concerned with resource exploitation and with issues related to
pollution. Environmental management therefore involves many stakeholders and requires a
multidisciplinary perspective. It involves many spatial scales, ranging from the local to the
global. It also involves many, diverse goals, including the desires to control the direction and
pace of development, to optimize resource use, to minimize environmental degradation and to

15
avoid environmental disaster. (https://www.soas.ac.uk/cedep-demos/000_P500_ESM_K3736-
Demo/unit1/page_10.html)
Summary
The following related literature and related studies shows the level of environmental
management among senior high school students in Iloilo City National High School in which the
article written by Barrow (2005) environmental management involves all the people to some
extent because all human activities ultimately have some sort of environmental impact. People
nowadays, neglect the very essence of nature and their surroundings. They continue to abuse and
disrupt the balance of nature, hoarding countless resources, throwing unsegregated rubbishes, do
deforestation in various forests across the globe and many more. By reviewing numerous studies
and literature, such as How to Dispose of Waste, Benefits of Water Conservation Why We
Should Care about Saving Water, What are the benefits of Recycling? And Implications for
Reforestation and Land Restoration we learned the benefits of some aspect of environmental
management and that there are some ways to help bring nature to its rich and glorious past self in
the heeding to the issue of waste management, water conservation, reforestation and recycling.
Furthermore, there are studies like Solid Waste Management – Case Study, The Impacts
of Water Conservation Strategies on Water Use: Four Case Studies, The Economic Benefits of
Recycling in Virginia and CDM Afforestation and Reforestation Project Activities shows the
16
various human practices and activities that helps the environment in certain places around the
world and concluded that there are actions that promotes good results to the environment and
there are some abolishes the nature. Thus, we humans are must aware of our actions because it
reflects not only ourselves and we must face our consequences that follows.
Conclusion
Therefore the researcher have made a conclusion that the studies gathered have almost
equal division to which five out of the ten review related literature and studies have made results
that indicate a positive correlation between level of environmental management, while the two
out of ten results are negative and three out of ten are inconclusive therefore from the data given
it is established that there is a certain degree of relationship between the level of environmental
management but the parameters and ways to describe and gauge the state and status of that said
relationship; whether positive or negative remained inconclusive and debated thus further
analysis and research is needed to attain a definite conclusion.
