occurs when pollutants are directly or
indirectly discharged into water bodies
without adequate treatment to remove
harmful compounds.
WATER POLLUTION

15. A. R.A. 8749 or the Clean Air Act
AIR ( AIR POLLUTION)

 Health problems
 Damage to the
environment
 Damage to property
 Thinning of the
protective
ozone layer of the
atmosphere
which is leading to
climate changes

18. Practical Solutions to
Pollution of Environment
Do not litter.
Participate in the clean up

and appliances

19. AND….

20. Reduce
Reuse
Recycle
Practice Solid Waste Management

21. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
• Recyclable products are
usually made out of things that
already have been used. It
usually takes less energy to
make recycled products than to
make new ones. The less
energy we use, the better.
• By recycling half of your
household waste, you can save
2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide
annually.

22. Plastic Ordinance of the
City of Navotas

24. Continuous Clean Up Activities

25. WHAT CAN
WE DO???

26. •Conserve the
use of electricity
and water
•Put out lights that are
not in use or close the
television when
nobody is watching
According to studies abroad, 75% of electricity consumed at home
is stand by power to keep electronics running while they are off.

27. • Drive Less and Drive Smart
Less driving means fewer emissions. Besides saving
gasoline, walking and biking are great forms of exercise.

28. Plant a Tree
A single tree will absorb approximately one ton of carbon dioxide during
its lifetime. During photosynthesis, trees and other plants absorb carbon
dioxide and give off oxygen.

29. Protection of Mangroves

30.  Educate yourself, your family, your friends, your
co-workers and everyone you meet.
 The more people are aware of the issues the
more likely they are to make decisions that will
be constructive!
 Be active - Speak up in a positive way in your
local community and organization and help
others to commit to reducing greenhouse gas
emissions.
Promote Public Awareness
