     For this week, the class talked and discussed about Climate change and the Environment. I think that this topic is very important to know and understand because it affects/ concerns us in different ways. God has given us the responsibility of taking care of the earth and granted us the privilege of using the natural resources. However through the years, man has been neglecting and abusing nature. Today, there are different problems and situations that man is facing because the actions he did to nature.

     A documentary was shown which was entitled "An Inconvenient Truth." Al Gore presented facts and information about climate change and it showed what is happening or what would happen to nature. It is a sad fact that most of the people today neglect the problem about the environment. Even if they are aware about the problem, they choose not to do anything or worse, they contribute more to the problem. I think that the documentary would be a great medium in showing the current situations of the environment. Hopefully, the speaker could open the eyes of people in our society and show them the current situation of the environment. 

    By watching the documentary, I was able to learn more about the things that is happening to nature. I learned that what we do today can affect our future. We should not only think of ourselves, we need to be generous and think of the future. We need to save the environment/earth not only for us but for the people in the future. We would want to make them see and feel the beauty of nature. To be able to do this, we need to start immediately and protect the environment.

      For our second meeting this week, we had the orientation for our service learning. The community assigned for my group, was Kabig Bisig para sa Ilog Pasig. I am looking forward to our first visit this Saturday because I would want to make a good project plan or proposal so that we could help them and hopefully change their lives in our own little way.
