Q: Do you think you've done enough to protect the environment?

A: Despite being an active volunteer to several environmental organizations, I’m ashamed to admit that I haven’t done enough. I know that I can still do more than what I’ve done and because of that, I will continue contributing something that can improve the state of Mother Earth. It sounds

for some but I already claimed that that’s one of my missions in life.

Multiple Choice

Q: Is there education about environmental protection at school?

A: Yes, back when I was a student, we had one curriculum about science and the environment which taught us the importance of environmental conservation and preservation. To be honest, I found it boring since I didn’t have a clear understanding of the value of it. I’m glad that I’ve exposed myself to certain environmental organizations as it helped me ............. my mind. I just hope that schools these days realistically teach their students about environmental protection.
