environmental condition.
NSTP contribute a lot to prepare and train the youth to become aware in our environmental
condition. NSTP helps in spreading awareness in the community by having seminars and
programs that talks about the things that must be know as a citizen or member of the
community whenever there is environmental problem that might occur. NSTP also teaches the
youth how to care for the environment. The youth are required to have 36 hours to 72 hours to
be involved in Green Philippines Activities which include among others:
a. Taking back our forests and replenishing fallen trees with new, protected forests;
b. Beautifying our barangays and cities;
c. Building more urban parks and recreation areas;

our environment is important. When the time comes when there will be no trees to
climb, rivers to swim, fresh air to breathe, and enough amount of food supply we will
know how important taking care of the environment is. If we disregard the condition of
our environment now, there will be a guarantee that we will suffer on the future.
As a student, I can save and protect mother nature by my daily activities like
restraining myself from using energy excessively. Simple decisions to reduce the use of
water, electricity, transportation etc., could mean a lot in this direction. By being a model to
others in activities, I can bring about the required social change.
