Recycling
It is the process of collecting and processing
materials that would otherwise be thrown away as a
trash and turning them into new products.
4. Why is recycling important?
• Reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills and
incinerators
• Conserves natural resources
• Increases economic security by tapping a domestic
source of materials
5. Why is recycling important?
Saves energy
Helps create jobs in the recycling and manufacturing
products
Prevents pollution by reducing the need to collect new raw
materials
6. Some of the Ways of Recycling
• Use reusable bags instead of plastic.
• Reuse scrap paper for crafts.
• Repurpose glass jars and containers.

Carpooling
It is the sharing of car journeys so
that more than one person travels in
a car, and prevents the need for
others to have to drive to a location
themselves.
9. Bicycle Riding
• Bicycle riding uses minimal fossil fuels and is a
pollution-free mode of transport.
• Cuts down on greenhouse gas emissions and
global climate change.
• Reduces noise pollution and
congestion.
10. There are several ways the we can do to
help protect our planet.
Reduce food waste
Food waste is the discarding of potentially usable food.
11. In the Philippines, about 308,000 tons of rice are
wasted every year. In Metro Manila alone, an
estimated 2,175 tons of food scraps end up in trash
bins on a daily basis. Much of this wasted food
comes from restaurants.
12. MPACT OF FOOD WASTE IN THE ENVIRONMENT
Food waste that ends up in landfills produces a large amount of
methane - a more powerful greenhouse gas than even CO2. For the
uninitiated, excess amounts of greenhouse gases such as methane,
CO2 and chloroflurocarbons absorb infrared radiation and heat up
the earth’s atmosphere, causing global warming and climate change.

Unpack your groceries strategically
Freeze it
Rather than let leftovers sit in the fridge without a
plan for eating them, freeze them.

not just the accumulation of plastics that harms the
environment—it is also the fragments and toxins released during
photodecomposition that pollute our soil and water
17. • Follow proper waste disposal
There are several ways the we can do to

• Trees provide food, protection and homes for
many birds and mammals.
• Hospital patients have been shown to recover from
surgery more quickly when their hospital room offered
a view of trees
19. • Trees also help in the reduction of urban heat island
effect through evaporative cooling and reducing the
amount of sunlight that reaches parking lots and
buildings.
There are several ways the we can do to
help protect our planet.
• Plant more trees
• Trees reduce the amount of storm water runoff, which reduces
erosion and pollution in the waterways and may reduce the
effects of flooding.
