Source:Tree Planting in Schools?
Schools required students to plant trees before graduation or completion to support the efforts for biodiversity balance and environmental restoration. This has been going on for several decades and batches of graduates and completers.
One young person during the forum raised the agenda addressed to the representatives of academic community and the whole educational institutions. She mentioned her reflections that such a system must be revisited and reformed. The intention and.purpose is very sound but on the implementation phase? It's a failure.
Why so?
Of which the parents, teachers, students around agreed that requiring students, pupils, etc on the last days of schools will only be a waste of resources, time and purpose. If nobody takes care of those trees after the school days it will surely die naturally.
Or has there been orientations why plant a tree? Or only a compliance for clearance is signed? Who knows?
It was proposed then to rethink and or try the other way around. Require the students if this is indeed a requirement for completion and or graduation to plant on the first days of the academic year. If the tree survived at the end of the year? Clearance signed.
One of the requirements for schools aside from the conscious integration of environmental consciousness is a place, a permanent tree park or forest land or a partner Barangay or public sites that must be safeguarded from corporate interests.
Bagat Notes believes that schools are a strategic social arena to mold ecologically aware and sensitive generations. It can provide scientific explanation why a balance of biodiversity is relevant for humanity and on how to sustain it. It is very instrumental in scientifically without depending on the corporate science to define what endemic trees or effective trees necessary to restore the quality LASANG and LIFE.
Way to go PALASANG Sibagat!
