In terms of government legislations, 

the Philippine government should improve the

enforcement of Republic Act 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act
of 2000 as section 57 of the act, entitled "Business and Industry Position," should be
emphasized because it encourages companies to participate in ecological solid waste
management programs. Correspondingly, according to a survey, 43% of solid waste in
the Philippines is generated by commercial institutions, institutional sources, and the
industrial or manufacturing industry, while the majority of solid waste created in
residential areas is generated by the consumption of the aforementioned industries. If
the government is stringent in requiring these firms to effectively handle their
waste and use environmentally safe products, customers may be required to do
the same when they purchase these solid wastes (e.g., sachets) from these
industries.
With all of this, it is clear that capitalism and consumerism are important
considerations to examine in climate change. Since these two are rooted in our
society's structure and history, we should strive to minimize their negative impact on the
environment. And while both have been seen to be socially and ecologically
disruptive, the fatalistic effects of consumerism and capitalism can be reversed
by society as both of these principles are rooted from the masses. With this said, it
is the people who can amend them and dictate their position in society in order to
preserve the environment.
