Numerous thought- to- be solutions to diminish environmental problems have been raised by various global activists. Effective or not, still we experience the agony there is when nature attacks.
The onslaught of typhoon “Ondoy” proved to be a very tragic and life changing experience for Filipinos. The traumatic event caused numerous lives, and eradicated infrastructures and properties in some part of the Philippines.
The media imposes varied reasons why such things happen in our country, the recent calamity said to be the most dreadful in typhoon history in the Philippines.
Aside from the haunting display of dead bodies in news and the tallied obliterated resources the Filipinos still catches up amidst the grief-stricken catastrophe.
In an interview with Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Lito Atienza called on Filipinos for a change in attitude and lifestyle in effort to address the various environmental problems besetting the country, including global warming and climate change.
I think everyone of us is capable of dissecting even a little change of phase in our ways, especially those that can trigger benefit for the whole. Blaming others about something will not help, what every Filipino needs now is a change of attitude towards the environment. Nature has ways of imposing his feelings and from the recent typhoon tragedy it only shows that mother earth had enough.
A change in attitude is what we need and it should start within ourselves. Throwing your trash in places you feel like tossing only contributes to environmental problems. If public waste management will just be realized then we can lessen the amount of waste that will go to drainage systems, water will flow through without any disruptions and thus minimizing flooding tendencies. Also proper waste segregation and recycling are just among the hundreds of ways to help and protect our surroundings.
It is of vital importance that Filipinos can embrace change even once in a while. Ondoy is gone but Pepeng has arrived, let these catastrophic events remind us not of the end but a redirection and a beginning to recreate the world into something better.
