Any energy stored let’s say, the butane fuel inside a canister decreases its amount of usefulness because it runs your portable gas range to grill your favorite Korean samgyupsal.

there’s an overall decrease in the amount of usefulness”

Matter is neither created nor destroyed but transformed as well just like energy. There is no “away”. The matter yesterday is the same matter as today. It may not be the same look because it already transformed into a new look.

Our differences are actually a strength. Balance is achieved mysteriously despite diversity. Evolutionary processes created various traits favorable for survival.

Our vaccines utilize natural mechanisms to induce immunity in our bodies. We discovered this through experiments and now we take advantage of its benefits to the healthcare and medical fields but, we have to take full responsibility for what we discover and what we can create through science.

The way you treat your home actually reflects the kind of place where you live in. If you prefer throwing garbage elsewhere or you don’t take responsibility for the wastes that you discard regardless of amount, type or size, these accumulate in time making your place or your community untidy and eventually become polluted and unfit for living. 

All humans deserve to live in a clean environment. For example, we noticed in our barangay that there is a very untidy area with some garbage are left behind. This leaves foul stench that invites insects like flies and pests such as rats scavenging on any leftovers. We help by raising and voicing out our concerns to our community and even to local officials to act and urge one another in keeping our communities clean, safe and livable for everyone. 

We are all responsible for passing to the next generation a sustainable, clean, safe, and livable home. 

Whatever socio-economic background or nationality, each one of us is covered by this human ecology law. It is our responsibility to continue observing and keeping this law working for all of us at all costs.

A sustainable community can make this possible. More work and opportunities can ensure order by keeping people and their families well provided and sustained. Every society must have this goal to ensure success among members of the community. 

Always consider that technology always has positive and negative impacts. As Lewis Wolpert once said, “Reliable scientific knowledge is value-free and has no moral ethical value. Science tells us how the world is. Dangers and ethical issues arise only when science is applied as technology.”

Our planet will transform anytime it like without telling us the schedule when it is going to happen. The best we can do is to be prepared at all cost. Nature itself provided us in the past how severe it can be through its earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, floods, forest fires and other forms of deadly and devastating natural events and calamities. With our past experiences of these things, we can learn how to mitigate, adapt and overcome once they occur again anytime soon at this present age.
