The Green Defenders: Engaging in Environmental Activities for a Safer Environment

    The environment plays a important role in our life. Environment is part of our life. To live a relaxing and healthy life, a clean environment is important. The environment is the natural settings that enable life on Planet Earth to grow and develop. It encourages natural development and growth of humans, animals, and other living things. However, our environment is currently being harmed as a result of our actions, us humans. Our continuous actions and decisions have a negative impact on the environment, creating pollution, global warming, deforestation, and overfishing, all of which lead to the breakdown of our environment. In order to help build back our healthy environment, we should engage in active participation and know what has been happening in our surroundings.

"You can start changing the world for the better daily-no matter how small the action is"

- Nelson Mandela

   Participating in any environmental activity is a big help to start building back to its healthy figure like helping to pick up trashes that you can see around whenever you're walking and going to another place. By this, we can lessen the trash in our community and put them in their proper places. 

    This photo shows myself and friends clearing up trash along the beach. By doing this, we were able to reduce the amount of waste that would otherwise end up in the water.

'We are on Earth to take care of life. We are on Earth to take care of each other.'

-Xiye Bastida

    As you can see in the image, it's me and my peers picking up trash in our school and putting it in its proper area. We were able to contribute to the reducing of environmental problems such as waste pollution, which is still on increasing levels. 

“Environment is no one’s property to destroy; it’s everyone’s responsibility to protect.”

– Mohith Agadi

    Here's a photo of me and my friends planting plants in my friend's backyard. Plants are necessary for all life on Earth to exist. They are significant because plants take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and produce oxygen. 

   As a grade 10 student, we were able to show the value of active engagement in environmental activities that can help to develop a healthy and safe environment for everyone in our photo blog post.
