7.  Pollution is the introduction of harmful materials
into the environment. These harmful materials
are called pollutants. Pollutants can be natural,
such as volcanic ash. They can also be created
by human activity, such as trash
or runoff produced by
factories. Pollutants damage the quality of air,
water, and land.
 Many things that are useful to people
produce pollution. Cars spew pollutants from
their exhaust pipes. Burning coal to
create electricity pollutes the air. Industries and
homes generate garbage and sewage that can
pollute the land and water. Pesticides—
chemical poisons used to kill weeds and
insects—seep into waterways and harm wildlife

 More than 72 million children throughout the globe that are of the age to be in primary education are not enrolled in
school.
 This can be attributed to inequality and marginalization as well as poverty. Fortunately, there are many organizations
that work directly with the issue of education in providing the proper tools and resources to aid schools.
In the Philippines, the lack of education is attributed to:
 Social divide – There is no fair learning access in the country. Lack of resources – Large-scale shortfalls in classrooms,
teachers, and other tools to sustain sound learning also make up a big issue.
 Also reported in Inquirer.net MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Education (DepEd) on Wednesday
acknowledged that the country has been suffering from “learning poverty” following a report from the World Bank
(WB) that 90 percent of children with age 10 years old could not read (2021).

cooking and gardening skills, people who are suffering will be more likely to get jobs, earn
enough money to buy food and even learn how to make their own food to save money.

minerals, overweight, obesity, and resulting diet-related noncommunicable diseases.

partake in substance abuse but the developing
world, marginalized groups and communities
are the most vulnerable to this reality.

CAUSES FEAR AND INSECURITY, VIOLENCE AND DEATH.

defenseless and innocent people without
warning.
 This makes national security a higher
priority for combating terrorism as well as
promoting justice in wrongdoings to
illustrate the enforcement of the law and
the serious punishments for terror crimes.
