The Philippines is known for its beauty and for having diverse resources, unique plants and animals, stunning sceneries and abundant land areas. These are the country’s treasures. But these treasures are in danger and these are being progressively more compromised as the population in the Philippines increases. Waste management and population growth are the two main problems in the Philippines.
Over the years, the Philippine Government has tried to reverse environmental degradation by introducing innovative institutional and legal reforms. In addition, in recent years, many donors have supported efforts to improve the overall environmental governance in the country by building the competence of the Environmental groups like DENR, local governments, local communities and NGOs and by supporting innovative partnerships among them. Despite of all these efforts, aptitude in environmental and natural resources authority still requires significant improvement, particularly in LGUs or local government units.
However, despite the government’s good intentions, rapid population growth, urbanization and industrialization have far outstripped urban environment services and weak natural resource management systems have led to rapid degradation of those environments too.
The Philippines seems to be on the brink of total decay, as a rising and industrializing country, it is experiencing all the opportunities intertwined with environmental problems. Its ecosystems are underneath diverse stages of stresses that threaten the welfare of the population.
Conversely, there is what we call green technology that can help us prevent the problems being faced by our country. Green technology is centered on sustainable development. One example of green technology is Biosphere Technology that uses gasification process which harnesses the combustibility of solid wastes to create a heat source that produces an extremely hot steam that will then generate green energy like electricity.
Biosphere technology will be deployed country-wide ensuring that all Filipinos will benefit from this technology. Society, well being and the environment here in the Philippines are intricately interrelated and complex. Joint efforts that address the density of these interrelations can improve our health, economy and future.
