1. What is your vision for a sustainable world?

A sustainable world, for me is, all about meeting the needs of the present without limiting the potential and resources of the future generation. A sustainable world comes with people who are aware of how they’re making an impact on their environment. In the Philippines, climate change is a big problem, it is always the poor people who are suffering. Climate change can be a sum of overuse of the planet’s natural resources. We keep using and wasting these resources until there’s nothing left and we have no other resources to replace them.

We try so hard to make our environment equitable and better for all of us. But how do we live in an environment like that if we are the ones responsible for all the inevitable problems that are slowly growing and affecting our world?

2. What are you planning to do to make this vision a reality?

To make the world a sustainable place, it has to start with the people living in the planet. We can all start with the basics; recycle, separating biodegradable from non biodegradable products, use recycling materials (if possible), avoid over consuming natural resources, cutting ENOUGH trees, encourage more energy-efficient or eco-friendly buildings.

3. What impact has colonization had on our journey to a sustainable planet?

Colonization has its pros and cons. Colonization has impacted our journey to a sustainable planet with useful products and resources that can help us find solutions and answers to the problems that our planet is experiencing now but it has led us to a great increase in population which created more urban places and increase the amount of people suffering.
