    The community faces issues with intense heat, underutilized land, wasted fruit, unstable water supply, and loss of biodiversity. To address these, the author proposes building more shaded structures, encouraging community gardening and landscaping, establishing a nursery and fruit collection program, planting trees to improve water cycles, and propagating fruit trees. The profile describes the community of Brgy. Ar-arampang in Balaoan, La Union. It is an agricultural area surrounded by hills and plains, with clay soil of moderate to high inherent fertility. Residents are predominantly farmers and the climate involves wet and dry seasons.

    PROBLEMS IN MY COMMUNITY 

    The work of building inclusive communities is not easy; result will not occur overnight.  It takes
    time, patience, perseverance, and courage, because this work is about transforming attitudes,
    behaviors, and policies.  It requires strategies that operate at multiple levels, including the
    individual, group, and institutional levels.
     

    1.  Identify 5 particular concerns or problem in your own community and explain how you can help
    in solving such problem.

    1. Intense heat in the community during open and good weather. By making more sheds or by
    improving the sheds in the area to make it more cooler can be done by reinforcing or adding
    some insulating materials that can be found in nature like bamboo, etc.
    2. All agricultural lands/lot and even the topography are not utilized enough. If everyone in the
    community engages to gardening o landscaping their yards and even the side of road, it may
    spark a chance for tourism in the community. The barangay has high elevations and also has
    unique location (a community that lives in hills and fields and beside a highway) can provide a
    new perspective and spots ideal for picture-taking. The community can be seen from the highway
    can also connects other barangays so people passing by the road may notice the attractive
    changes.
    3. Most fruits from trees are left to fall down and rot on the soil floor causing foul smell to the yard
    and even to neighbours. A chance for the seeds to germinate to grow on its own is very low. So
    maybe by human intervention, having a nursery or initiate tree planting can counter global
    warming since the barangay is mostly an open area of crop fields. Also, by having an in-depth
    understanding about fruit collection and ripening can be used to provide local livelihood as well
    as learning opportunities for people.
    4. Unstable supply of water. At times, water distributed to households is dirty. So trees and other
    native plants can help and collectively, they can make a forest because forest and trees can be a
    source of clean water since they can improve water cycle in the area.
    5. Loss in biodiversity of flora and fauna since agriculture and small-scale animal grazing are
    practiced and urbanization led to cutting trees in yards of some households. Through a nursery
    catering for tree seedling will help. Fruit-bearing trees can be propagated in each household if
    space lot is compromised or can be planted in nearby available soils to encourage animals like
    birds to build their nest.
