MY REFLECTION
“Were we to confront our creature hood squarely, how would we propose to educate? The answer, I think is implied in the root of the word education, educe, which means "to draw out." What needs to be drawn out is our affinity for life. That affinity needs opportunities to grow and flourish, it needs to be validated, it needs to be instructed and disciplined, and it needs to be harnessed to the goal of building humane and sustainable societies. Education that builds on our affinity for life would lead to a kind of awakening of possibilities and potentials that lie dormant and unused in the industrial-utilitarian mind. Therefore the task of education, as Dave Forman stated, is to help us 'open our souls to love this glorious, luxuriant, animated, planet.' The good news is that our own nature will help us in the process if we let it.”

Promoting awareness and education are the most useful and essential in order to obtain a more sustainable approach to preserve our environment. And being aware of what is going through with our environment today lead us to make this Blog. When our Professor , Dr. Ava Clare Marie O. Robles gave this as part of our requirement, i was challenged because this project is quiet hard to do because it consumes so much time, so much money, and so as effort. But later on, I realized that this Project helps me to learn lot of things that i may not see in the four corners of our classroom that cannot be paid.
This project help me how to become time conscious, to have good relationship with my new friends who are also advocates of Proper Waste Management and to become a youth of new generation who can do something with our environment in own little way.
“Care for the environment is fundamental to the universal good, since the
health and well-being of all life depends on a healthy environment. The full
human development of every human person now and in future generations
cannot be separated from the fate of the earth.”

PROUD OF BEING PART OF YOUTH OF NEW GENERATION : )
