    Climate change, one of the biggest problem filipino’s are suffering right now. It causes strong typhoons—recently, there are 4 typhoons that passed the philippines—and rising of sea levels. These changes affects the life of filipino’s, especially those leaving near the ocean or sea, and areas that are prone to flooding. Climate change occurs when abusing and taking earth for granted, such as cutting too much trees, using too much plastic, and relying on dirty fuels like coal and oil.

    One reason the environment is changing is deforestation, where trees are cut or removed to make new cities, roads, and etc. Trees help us balance the climate and protect us from floods and landslides such as the sierra madre mountain range that is full of trees. Another problem is pollution—air, water, and land—this occurs when people are using too much plastics or the company is releasing too much waste from factories, which harms the marine life and makes life harder to those people who are selling fishes for money.

    Even with these challenges, Filipinos are strong and work together to recover from disasters. People help each other rebuild homes and find solutions. But being resilient is not enough. We need better solutions, like protecting forests, using clean energy, and learning how to care for the environment. By working together, we can make the Philippines a safer and better place for everyone, even with the effects of climate change.
