 Students are actively participating with
movements towards environmental
conservation.
 Students tend to inspire and draw more
participation into an environmentally-
friendly living.
 As environmental activists, they do not just
promote advocacies but they also start
actions within themselves.
 They also have a concept of monitoring the
outcomes of their activities.
 Creativity
 Sustainability
 Harmony
 Problem lies on the collaboration of
students and other units/sectors of the
society.
 There is also a problem on overall
participation.
 Securing funds for activities also hinder
students from achieving environmental
goals and objectives.
 The environment is facing a huge crisis on
sustainability.
 There is hope in the presence of the youth,
the students.
 In order to maximize the potentials of the
students, they must work hand-in-hand with
the other sectors of the community.
 Environmental issues are everybody’s
concern and must not be taken for granted.
