DMHS English Club S.Y. 2021-2022

Words are nothing without actions.

We, the English Club Officers are asking everyone to be aware of what's happening around us, as our beloved planet starts to get worse, we encourage everyone to help the Planet Earth in this crisis that we are facing.

Here’s some ways to help our planet earth:
-Conserving water saves energy. Energy is needed to filter, heat and pump water to your home, so reducing your water use also reduces your carbon footprint. Using less water keeps more in our ecosystems and helps to keep wetland habitats topped up for animals like otters, water voles, herons and fish.

-Reduce plastic consumption.
Preventing pollution by lessening the amount of new raw materials used. Saves energy. Reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute towards climate change.

-Unplug Unused Devices.
A large majority of the energy that powers our homes comes from fossil fuels, so unplugging (as in taking a break from electronic devices) reduces your energy demand and carbon emissions.

-Recycle and Reuse.
Reducing, reusing and recycling waste helps save landfill space by keeping useful materials out. The amount of energy and natural resources needed to produce or collect the raw materials and manufacture the product are reduced.

-Stop Incineration of Waste.
Burning household garbage in burn barrels, stoves, and fire pits creates pollution that's dangerous to human health and contaminates the air, water, and soil.

-Use bike instead of vehicle.
The longer you use your bike, the better for the planet. Riding a bike also reduces traffic congestion. Idling cars are bad for the environment, so less cars on the road means a healthier community. Someone riding a bike can go 960 miles on the amount of energy that goes into moving a car 20 miles.

-Plant more Trees.
Trees hold water, prevent flooding, recharge underground aquifers, and maintain water v***r in the atmosphere, increasing the opportunity for rainfall. When forests are cut down, the water v***r in the atmosphere disappears in an area, decreasing precipitation and increasing the risk of drought and desertification.

Ways to improve your grammar and vocabulary.

It affects everyone.

Metro Manila, and the neighboring provinces of Bulacan, Cavite, Rizal and Laguna were placed under Alert Level 3 on the five-tier alert level system of community quarantine until Jan. 15.

Also under Alert Level 3 are the provinces of Bataan, Batangas, Cagayan, Pampanga and Zambales; and the cities of Baguio, Dagupan, Santiago, Angeles, Olangapo, Lucena, Naga, Iloilo and Lapu-Lapu.

In areas under Alert Level 3, face-to-face classes are prohibited in kinder, elementary and high school, while limited in-person classes are allowed for colleges and technical-vocational schools.

The Department of Education (DepEd) earlier said the pilot implementation of limited face-to-face classes in areas under Alert Levels 1 and 2 would continue, as long as local governments and stakeholders support the program.

Education Secretary Leonor Briones earlier said the agency would postpone its plans to expand in-person classes — particularly in Metro Manila — with more schools participating.

The Department of Health asked DepEd to wait for its assessment on Jan. 15, when the government would decide the next alert level for different areas in the country.
