THE PROBLEM
Introduction
Without oxygen we cannot live for a moment even. Without oxygen, the animal world will die away. Trees make the oxygen and spreads it in the air. While inhaling air we take the oxygen with it into our bodies and live in life.
Carbon dioxide makes our atmosphere or rather our environment poisonous for us. Trees consume this carbon dioxide and thereby makes our environment safe for us.
Trees conserve our soil. This soil-conservation is very important for our corn-fields. Trees make own land fertile by their fallen leaves. By their fallen leaves they make new soil for us. Most of the forest-products are the products from the trees in the forests, absentee of trees will cause a lot of harm to us and to our life. So the number of trees should be multiplied by the tree-plantation by us.
We should plant trees near our houses and near our villages for a forestation with a view to raising new forests. We should plant trees on the two sides of the roads and paths and on the four sides of our corn-fields. We should plant trees on all the vacant places in our village on towns where we live, and we should advise all to do so.
Taking care with our environment is the best way to preserve mankind. Due to globalization, environment suffers from extreme exposure to pollution and other factors that risk it. Many times, we contribute to the severe destruction of our environment just by our own hands. Saving the mother Earth is not too late! We can contribute to it even in our own little ways.
Last May 1, 2012, we, conduct our Tree Planting activity at Brgy. Fatima Uhaw particularly at Purok 21, as part of our requirment in Educ 103 for our project based learning. Together with the Brgy. Fatima’s representative who is the chairman for environmental concerns, we are able to finish our Tree Planting successfully.By the end of the day, we not just comply our requirement in our subject, but the most important thing is we are able to help preserve our environment even in our own simple ways.
Statement of the Problem
In many cases, however, the actual reason for the low seedling survival at purok21 can be a result of:
- Poor planting technique
- Improper planting stock for the site in question
- A poorly prepared planting site
- Poor seedling care and protection during and after planting.
Overview of the Topic
Tree Planting is an act that is a big help for our environment nowadays. Many associations and groups are conducting this said activity all over the world. The said activity are done by us because we observed that our environment is really dirty, no trees especially on those places that can be consider as a squatters area. This blog is made to show that we, MSU-Student the class of Prof. Ava Clarie Robles can help to preserve and protect our nature and to make a history. We are aiming for a better world where anyone can live safely and everyone can enjoy the sea. This Tree Planting Project serves not just simply a project but also a practiced for us, students, to be aware of the environment's condition and to set up an action in order to alleviate some environmental problems.
Objective
This Tree Planting Project at BRGY.FATIMA isn't just about cleaning the surroundings and planting, it is also pollution Prevention. This Tree Planting Project is not only made to clean and planting the communiy but it is also made to show that we should volunteer in helping our environment. More so, it will show that volunteer-ism activity when properly managed could play a vital role in addressing environmental issues,and human development in general.
Significance of the ActivityThe significance of this project is to save our nature, because it is one of the sources in getting food and livelihood. Through this project, it will edify them that we should value and at least maintain caring for our trees, not just for the sake of environment but also, to the people who will benefited from it.
