Implemetation of Solid Waste

Chapter I
Introduction

Assumption Antipolo takes pride in calling its campus a ‘’green zone’. With Apostolate that aims to take care of God’s creation, the Environmental Education Program is an integral part of the curriculum. The program as a whole instills in the student a deeper commitment to environmental stewardship. It makes use of the SEE-DISCERN ACT process to develop in the student a lifestyle of steward ship where caring is a commitment. To SEE allows the student to observe environmental realities, to DISCERN is to reflect and use her personal understanding to seek God’s plan anchored on prayers, leading her to ACT in response to God’s will.
The Solid Waste Management for Schools is a guide or a step-by-step instruction or manual on how solid waste management should be implemented, and who among the school community would be the key players in the immersion process. The goal is to foster participation among children and adults, and put schools in action for the welfare of Mother Earth. The program is a cross-curriculum area of learning, wherein all subject areas can integrate environmental issues and materials in their encounters, thus helping students make informed decisions.

Assumption Antipolo students also engaging in a proper waste disposal, or proper way to segregate different solid waste around the school. The school also have a Zero Waste Campaign the Canteen and cafeteria upholds the schools advocacy promoting zero waste. Therefore, the following are practiced: Encouraging the use of biodegradable materials whenever possible, minimizing the use of plastics and briging reusable container for food and drinks.

Background of the study

Solid waste management practices in schools in less-developed countries, particularly in major urban communities, constitute one of the major factors leading to declining environmental health conditions. This study helps to implement solid waste management in Assumption Antipolo School. Paper and plastics were the most frequently generated wastes. Proper segregation should be observed in the different areas as well as the cleanliness of each area especially inside of a school. As we raise hopes that members of the school community will learn to understand the importance of managing solid wastes. Together, let us work towards a picture perfect world, and lend a gentle hand to guide the young generation as they form patterns of thoughts and behaviors geared towards environmental protection and concern. For those who are buying C2 or any pet bottle product from the cafeteria, they should not throw them away but instead can bring them home and collect they can bring them to school to add to their newspaper collection. If pet bottles are not allowed in the drive, they can just sell those bottles and give the money to their class fund. The researchers conduct this research to know how the Assumption Antipolo School implements their solid waste. The Student Activity Program enriches the curricular program by providing students opportunities for developing talents, leadership and other special skills and interests, and placing these at the service of others.

The responsibility to lead the youth lies in us, for truly, they are the hope of our Nation, and the world.

It forms them to be well-rounded and talented to prepare them to take on roles with open heart and enthusiasm. Love for God, others and the environment are enhanced in every club activity and is even extended to the community around. Through the varied student-initiated club activities, students engage in creative and meaningful experiences that help in their holistic growth and development.

Review of Related Literature

Pacem Eco-Park is a haven of trees where more than 80 of the country’s 1,600 species of butterflies thrive. It features a mini-forest, wildlife sanctuary, and aviary. Its biggest attraction is an English garden where bright monarch, bird wing, volina, and idea butterflies flutter under a giant net. The monarch, for instance, has a distinct orange color while the white idea is defined by a pattern of black lines. As the country’s national butterfly, its image is used to grace the old 25-centavo coin. PACEM is a short acronym for Peace And Care For Earth Ministry .The PACEM Eco-Park was established in 1994 inside Assumption College in Antipolo City as a place for retreat and a rescue center of both animals and plants.
Foreign Literature According to Christopher Simmons Soil solarization is a method of soil heating used to eradicate plant pathogens and weeds that involves passive solar heating of moist soil mulched (covered) with clear plastic tarp or waste ir the aninals. Various types of organic matter may be incorporated into soil prior to solarization to increase biocidal activity of the treatment process. Microbial activity associated with the decomposition of soil organic matter may increase temperatures during solarization, potentially enhancing solarization efficacy. According to Denise Blanc a large fraction of the waste stream is comprised of organic residuals that can be turned from a waste into a useful soil amendment through composting. CWMI addresses a broad range of residuals including manure, yard and food wastes, and mortalities and a wide array of audiences including households, schools, farms, municipalities and private entities. According to McHugh. Participants will clean out the stalls every morning just to refresh the bedding for the animals, for animal care. They’ll bring it out to this compound and dispose.They’ll put it on a large pad and they’ll blend it with nitrogen from various other industries. We’ve given them a carbon base. So you need a balance of the carbon and the nitrogens to make up a good soil additive. So a good fertilizer.”

According to John Novak The expression "older than dirt" certainly applies to compost. Nature has been producing compost for millions of years as part of the cycle of life and death on Earth. The first human use of animal manure, a raw form of compost, was in about 3,000b.c. in Egypt when it was spread directly on the fields as a fertilizer. Later, manure was mixed with dirty stable straw and other refuse and allowed to sit in piles until it was needed. Rain kept the piles wet and aided the decomposition process, producing a rich compost.

Local Literature According to Richard Samson A relatively recent idea in waste management has been to treat the waste material as a resource to be exploited, instead of simply a challenge to be managed and disposed of. There are a number of different methods by which resources may be extracted from waste: the materials may be extracted and recycled, or the calorific content of the waste may be converted to electricity.

According to Philipe San Miguel Waste management is the collection, transport, processing (waste treatment), recycling or disposal of waste materials, usually ones produced by human activity, in an effort to reduce their effect on human health or local aesthetics or amenity. A subfocus in recent decades has been to reduce waste materials' effect on the natural world and the environment and to recover resources from them. According to Bernard Soriano Active compost heapwaste material that are organic in nature, such as plant material, food scraps, and paper products, are increasingly being recycled. These materials are put through a composting and/or digestion system to control the biological process to decompose the organic matter and kill pathogens. The resulting stabilized organic material is then recycled as mulch or compost for agricultural or landscaping purposes.
