Small Actions, Big Changes for Our Future, A Better Future Starts with Us

    The Philippines is a country that constantly experiences both sudden and gradual environmental changes. As an archipelago located in the Pacific Ring of Fire it is naturally prone to hazards such as earthquakes, typhoons, and volcanic eruptions. As the time passes this environmental problems have become more intense and destructive, not only because of natural phenomena but also due to human activities. Climate change, is one of the greatest challenges faced by Filipinos today.


    

   Because the Philippines is often hit by typhoons, floods, and other natural disasters, even small environmental changes have a huge impact on people’s lives.  This is because of climate change it causes stronger storms, rainfall, and rising sea levels continue to affect communities, that can destroy homes, and  even worse is it can worsen poverty. Human actions such as deforestation, pollution, burning fossil fuels, and the improper disposal of waste have also contributed greatly to these change. It makes the climate change worse. This can also threatens livelihoods or the agriculture, making it harder for farmers to grow their plants and families yo have a resources in their daily life. Deforestation also plays a crucial role in making the climate worse. As the population grows, more trees are cut down to provide wood for livelihood and land for human to build their houses of even business. This reduces the ability of the environment to absorb excess rainwater, leading to floods that put vulnerable communities at risk. Also the lack of  projects and policies about things like this, along with the selfish people who only thinks about themselves but they cant think to those people who work hard to survive in their every day life. This further worsen the condition. Those who are poor and financially unstable are the one who suffer the most, as they struggle to recover from disasters and are more exposed to sickness and hardship.

  


  
Despite these challenges, Filipinos continue to show remarkable resilience. Communities unite to help one another, rebuild what is lost, and adapt to the changing environment. Resilience is not just about recovering from disasters but also about helping one another to prepare for the future. Working together and planting trees, and make action on climate issues, Filipinos can face problems and can surpass this problem if them have this things. People can support each other with unity and courage to build a better future.


  

   Environmental changes in the Philippines like typhoons and earthquakes, or gradual like rising sea levels are caused by both natural forces and human actions. These challenges will continue to threaten millions of lives if left unaddressed. Resilience is important, but it is not enough. To make the country’s future better, we must address the main causes of these problems. By working together, making stronger policies, make sustainable solutions, let your voice heard to let the people around you be aware of the things that happening and the things that they should do. The Philippines can overcome these challenges and build a safer, healthier, and more hopeful future for generations to come.
