CHAPTER 4: THE HUMAN PERSON IN THEIR ENVIRONMENT

ENGAGE
Read and analyze the given quotation below. Write your opinion on the space
provided.

“The world is big enough to satisfy our needs of any person, but too small
to satisfy human greediness”
- Mahatma Gandhi

CHAPTER
The world is so great to us, it gives us all the natural resources for our living. But we
have to keep on our mind that everything is limited. We are not keeping the world the way it
is because of our greediness. We want more we demand more way too far from what we just
need. And by doing that we no longer adapt to our environment, now we make our

m
er as
environment adapt to us. Throwing nature off balance, not just where we are but everywhere.

co
It is too bad that we are forcing the world to provide for our wants. We should balance

eH w
everything to keep living. We must are for everyone and everything not just our own

o.
happiness.

Directions: Answer the following questions.

1. What could you possibly do to contribute in improving our present environmental condition?
In my point of view, improving our environment condition starts in small actions, it doesn’t need to do
big projects and huge budget. Let’s contribute by disciplining ourselves. Let’s start small act like
throwing trash in the right place, planting trees, cleaning our surroundings and of course by reducing
our wants and pomp. Balancing the things we are consuming every day is a great help to preserve our
environment.

2. How is environment important to human being?

eH w
o.
It is our inhabitant without it we are nothing. It gives everything to us without asking. Our life depends
rs e
on the being of our environment, if it’s poor hen we are poor, if it is healthy then we are healthy,
ou urc
simple as that.

3. Do you think people should recycle? Why or why not?

ed d
ar stu

Yes, recycling is another great help to reduce our waste. We have a lot of waste everywhere and if this
waste will not be control, then humans might run out of locations to bury synthetic waste, or the waste
might bring disturbing effects to the environment, it also helps to reduce using natural resources which
is

helps to preserve the good of our world because we all know that these natural resources are limited.
The only way to radically slow the pressure of using these resources is recycling.

4. In what ways can you increase public awareness of our environmental problems?
I am not a well know person, so I don’t think I could raise a schema for everyone. But as a citizen who
cared for our environment I must say that I can set a good example to those people I am socializing
with. It’s just simple act but I now it can change something, and that little something to someone could
be the start of to reach everyone.

SUMMARY
Strand and Section: Abm-Richardy _ Date:

My mother was diligently telling me about her childhood. I am amazed but

disappointed at the same time. She said that most of the river before are safe to
swim unlike now that you will see a lot of garbage floating and flowing along the
river. Another thing that can barely see now is the fireflies roaming around the
trees at night and the children playing outside while enjoying the sun at day.
Since nowadays our children are used to hide in their room using their gadgets.

m
er as
She also mention about the swell of buildings and subdivisions that it almost

co
exhaust grassland and farms.

eH w
I feel sad and disappointed, how I wish that I could experience the

o.
rs e
environment in her time. It made me ask myself “why does it go this far, that we’d
ou urc
never experienced it on our own environment”. Though she comforted me that
some changes are good like having a machinery used in rice fields, technology for
o

a better future of everyone and a property that human can live with. It is still
aC s

negative for me that we lost many wonderful things around us.

vi y re

Now that realized a lot of things about our environment, I want to change
my daily life. I will stop using one-use things, like plastic bags, straws, disposable
ed d

water bottle and many more that will harm the world. I’ll be responsible with my
ar stu

waste and the waste around my surroundings, maybe those thrash are not mine
but this is my environment and I want to set a good example to everyone around
me that we should take care of our planet for our future and our next
is

generation’s future.
