INRODUCTION
The working title of the study is initially drafted as: level of awareness of BSMT students on proper disposal of garbage and Effective Solid Waste Management - Role of Environment Education Program. In particular, the research will focus on how environmental education program could effectively lead to effective solid waste management. The paper discusses in detail the research proposal of the topic. Solid waste management is the polite term for garbage management, a system of handling the amount of garbage generated by BSMT students. In this research proposal, the background and problem of the study are presented; the objectives of the study are formulated. Here, vital concepts, questions and assumptions are stated. Properly disposing of waste is not just a personal responsibility; some kinds of waste, usually hazardous, must be properly disposed. Toxic waste can seep into the ground and contaminate our water supplies, and sometimes cause widespread disease. Even non-toxic waste causes garbage pollution that contributes to global warming and a general negative impact on the student health.

AN ACT PROVIDING FOR AN ECOLOGICAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM, CREATING THE
NECESSARY INSTITUTIONAL MECHANISMS AND INCENTIVES, DECLARING CERTAIN ACTS PROHIBITED
AND PROVIDING PENALTIES, APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES
This effort made sure that every individual understood the solid waste issue, that this understanding reached their consciousness and that they were sensitized to their roles and responsibilities.
Statement of the Problem
This research paper aims to determine the level of awareness of BSMT students on proper disposal of garbage. Specifically, it seeks to answer the following specific questions: 1. What are the benefits of proper garbage disposal? 2. Who must be aware the proper disposal of garbage? 3. What is the most proper way of disposing the garbage?
Hypothesis
1. When it comes to curbing and dealing with waste, reduction is a far better solution than recycling. A product that is never manufactured is one that uses zero resources and creates zero waste.
Conceptual Framework
Household demand for solid waste services is a function of the unit price of solid waste services and other determining factors such as wage, non-wage income, prices of consumption goods, prices received for recyclables, waste components of market goods and quantity of wastes generated by non-market goods (Jenkins 1993). Other socio-economic characteristics are included in models such as household size, age and education. The variables, income and household size, are surrogates for the unobserved household production activities which generate waste as a by-product (Hong et al. 1993).
Some researchers have used this demand for solid waste services framework to model the determinants of household waste recycling (Hong et al. 1993; Jenkins et al. 2000; Per 1996 National Economic and Development Authority/Investment Coordination Committee- (NEDA/ICC) approved guidelines on financing activities with social and/or environmental objectives that have been transferred to the local government units.
Significance of the Study The result of this research might be significant to the following: BSMT Students. BSMT students may develop high level of awareness on the cause and effect of proper disposal of garbage. They should understand that the environment was in danger cause of improper disposing of garbage. They should follow the rules on proper disposing of garbage making cleanliness to the surrounding.
Scope and Limitation
How much BSMT students of John B. Lacson Colleges Foundation Bacolod are aware on proper disposal of garbage.
Definition of Terms The following terms are defined operationally for easy understanding by both the researcher and the readers.
Solid Waste. Solid or semisolid, nonsoluble material (including gases and liquids in containers) such as agricultural refuse, demolition waste, industrial waste, mining residues, municipal garbage, and sewage sludge.
Garbage. All refuse other than industrial-waste and effluents. It consists largely of easily decomposable and putrefying organic (animal and vegetable) waste from preparation, handling, storage, and sale or serving of food.
Pollution. Presence of matter (gas, liquid, solid) or energy (heat, noise, radiation) whose nature, location, or quantity directly or indirectly alters characteristics or processes of any part of the environment, and causes (or has the potential to cause) damage to the condition, health, safety, or welfare of animals, humans, plants, or property.
Level of Awareness. As used in this study, an arbitrary index that measure how high or low is the stored knowledge of students in the maritime program about the causes and effects of global warming.
