1) List your top 3 environmental issues that our government should prioritize.

2) Give and explain your suggested solution or project to each environmental issues.

 Deforestation

- What we should first prioritize is Deforestation. Clearing forests on a massive scale

results to the degradation of the quality of the land. Also, deforestation can lead to
many incidents like landslides. We need to educate the people that it needs permit in
order to cut a tree and when you cut it, you need to plant 5-10 trees in return and in
order to prevent global warming and climate change. Plus, they give us clean oxygen to
breathe!

 Improper Waste Disposal

- This issue seriously threatens nature by contaminating soil, air, and water that brings
risk to animal and marine life. We need to educate people that a plastic thrown
anywhere can simply go to the ocean and other waterway. By putting trashes in their
proper place, separating the biodegradable and non-biodegradable, can help in
reducing the trashes in our surroundings especially the ocean and canals.

 Illegal Mining

- Toxic wastes from illegal mining or mining accidents are poisonous to both land and
water. We need to educate miners and every one of us to replenish native soils and
grasses, proper waste removal, cleaning waste, replanting trees and natural forestry
and regular site inspections in order to prevent the bad effects of illegal mining such as
deforestation, landslides, and many more.
