background, outdoor setting)
Kristine: Life is only possible on Earth because it is the only planet that is warm enough to support life. When sunlight
hits the Earth, it reflects about 30% of that solar energy back to space while the 70% passes through the atmosphere
to the Earth’s surface where it is absorbed by land, oceans and atmosphere and heats the planet. This phenomenon
is called the Greenhouse Effect. (Last part of recording swipe your phone camera up to the sky, para Kaxandar will
start her video with the sky then down to her)

(Transition: Ang video should start with the view of the sky, then down to you.)
Kaxandra: The heat that enters our planet is then radiated back up in the form of invisible infrared light with some
continuing to space, while majority getting absorbed by atmospheric gases known as the greenhouse gases.
Greenhouse gases are responsible for absorbing heat which warms the planets. The five major gases being Water
vapor, Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide and Ozone. (Transition: Just cover your phone camera with your
hand)

(Transition: Cover phone with hand, prior to speaking)


Ailyn: Too much of these greenhouse gases result in too much heat being trapped on Earth which is why we are
experiencing what we call global warming which has become an issue not just in the Philippines but around the
world. Transition: (Hand swipe, left to right, palm facing your phone camera)

AJ: Several environmental laws have been created and implemented in every country to address the most serious
environmental challenge of our time, climate change. Even as students, we are able to make a difference:
(Transition: cover your phone with your palm)

CARL (Start your video nga covered inyo phone camera with your palm. Let’s use this transition for these items.)
1. Save energy both at home and in school. Make sure everything is off when not in use.
2. Walk, cycle or take public transport or carpool instead of driving.
3. Eat more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds and less meat and dairy as producing
plant-based foods generally result in fewer greenhouse gas emissions and require less energy, land and
water. (End your video nga covered inyo phone camera with your palm)

CARTER (Start your video nga covered inyo phone camera with your palm)
4. Throw away less food, when you throw food away, you are wasting not just the food but the resources and
energy used to grow, produce, package and transport them.
5. Reduce, reuse, repair & recycle. Electronics, clothes and other items we buy cause carbon emissions at each
point in production, so buying fewer things, shopping second-hand, repairing what you can and recycling
can help decrease the production of these items. (End your video nga covered inyo phone camera with

6. Plant trees, a single tree each of us plants now become thousands and a perfect shade in the future.
7. Clean up your environment. Humans, plants and animals suffer from land and water contamination due to
improper garbage disposal. Every year, people throw tons of trash which causes our environment harm, so
the next time we throw our garbage, make sure they are properly disposed. (End your video nga covered

KRISTINE (Start your video nga covered inyo phone camera with your palm)
1. Make your money count. If you have the power to choose which goods and services to support, choose
companies who use resources responsible and are committed to cutting their gas emissions and waste. (End

your friends, neighbors, relatives and people around you on ways we can protect our environment. (End

1. We do not have to become the president of the Philippines to be able to make a difference in protecting
our environment. Remember that a long journey of a thousand miles, start with a single step. (End your

Common questions

Individual actions proposed include saving energy, using sustainable transport modes, adopting a plant-based diet, waste reduction, and promoting environmental awareness. Reducing meat and dairy consumption could potentially have a significant impact due to the high emissions associated with livestock production. However, collectively, behavioral changes such as reducing, reusing, and recycling, combined with speaking out for broader systemic change, could drive substantial environmental impact .

Education and awareness are essential as they empower individuals with knowledge about the causes and effects of climate change, encouraging proactive personal and collective actions. Speaking up and sharing knowledge with others can foster community-driven efforts to mitigate climate change. Educated and aware citizens are more likely to demand sustainable practices and support environmentally responsible companies .

Corporate accountability is crucial because companies significantly contribute to greenhouse emissions. By choosing to support companies with responsible practices, consumers can influence corporate behavior. When consumers prioritize sustainably sourced goods, it creates market pressure for companies to adopt environmentally friendly processes to maintain competitiveness and customer trust .

A comprehensive strategy could involve organizing awareness workshops on energy-saving methods, initiating community clean-up and recycling programs, encouraging local food production, and planting trees. Engage local governments to support these activities through policies. Implement by setting clear timelines and goals, involving schools and businesses for wider reach. Expected outcomes include reduced local emissions, increased community participation in sustainability, and enhanced local biodiversity .

These strategies help in lowering carbon emissions by decreasing the demand for new production, which involves processes that emit greenhouse gases. By prolonging the life of items through reuse, repair, and recycling, the need for raw material extraction and manufacturing, both energy-intensive processes, is reduced, thus lessening the overall environmental footprint .

Greenhouse gases are emitted at each stage of a product's lifecycle, from materials extraction, production, transportation, to disposal. Individual choices such as buying fewer items, selecting second-hand goods, repairing rather than replacing, and recycling can significantly decrease these emissions by reducing demand for new products and thus minimizing the associated emissions at each lifecycle stage .

The global nature of climate change, as highlighted by the pervasive impact of global warming, emphasizes the need for international cooperation in sharing technologies, enforcing emissions standards, and holding countries accountable. Challenges like climate change transcend borders, requiring collaborative policies and agreements to effectively reduce global emissions and mitigate impacts collectively .

Environmental laws are critical in setting standards and enforcing policies that limit emissions and promote sustainable practices at a larger scale, complementing individual efforts which alone may not suffice to induce broad changes. These laws provide a framework within which individuals and businesses are motivated or required to adopt more sustainable practices .

This metaphor encapsulates the notion that personal actions, although they might appear small or insignificant, can collectively lead to substantial changes over time. Individual efforts in reducing energy consumption, implementing recycling, and influencing systematic regulations represent those initial steps that cumulatively contribute to a larger environmental movement .

Global warming is primarily caused by the excessive accumulation of greenhouse gases such as Water vapor, Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide, and Ozone in the atmosphere. These gases absorb and trap heat, which leads to an increase in the Earth's temperatures and is a significant contributor to climate change .
