Environment :)






Yay! I think I’ll be getting more and more overwhelmed, involved and concerned with what’s happening in our environment this year. After our thesis research part 1, actually after reading almost 20 articles and journals about climate change, disaster management and anything about environmental degradation, I can say that there are a lot of harmful human activities that we do and in order to change it, people should be aware of it. I read one article that says fishermen are more prone in facing disaster risks such as tsunami. The more they sail to fish, the more they are vulnerable to it and of course, who can stop themselves from fishing if it brings them the food they eat.

We cannot prevent calamities to happen but it is undeniable to say that everything we do affects our environment. To further understand how climate change is happening, I wanted to have my on-the-job training in Greenpeace International. It is an NGO fighting against climate change, deforestation and emission of toxic wastes through promoting sustainable agriculture and energy efficiency. The good thing about this organization is that they INNOVATE. Yes, they introduce new technology such as the solar generation. As what I see, this is very effective because it provides electricity coming from the sunlight. Cool, huh? It will be cooler if you discover how it works.
