BRIEF INTRODUCTION:

The Earth provides essential riches for humankind ever since. However, as the population of species grow, the
demand for these resources increased which led to the vast depletion specially of many non – renewable resources. In
response, environmental advocates called for Earth sustainability. Earth’s sustainability is defined as responsibly
interacting, managing and protecting the Earth’s natural resources.
Philippines is considered as one of the world’s richest country in terms of its natural resources. Even so, note
that these resources will not last for a lifetime considering the different human activities that harm and destroys our
environment.
