lesson expectations.
•In this part, the content and illustration of the
lesson will be presented.

What’s new?
Relate this to personality consolidation:
“You think you own whatever lands you on. The
earth is just a dead thing you can claim. But I
know that every rock and sea and creature has a
life, has a spirit, has a name”.
- Stephen Schnvartz Color of the
Wind

B. Development What I Know?

them do you think had an impact on the
environment (either positive or negative).
2. Looking back at your activities today,
what would you have done otherwise to
reverse whatever you did that harmed the
environment”
3. Pick 5 products that you use (food,
clothes, cosmetics, shoes, equipment).
Look at the labels. Research on how the
product was manufactured (Made in ___;
name of factory, components used for the
product, etc.).
What’s In?
1. Personally, how do you regard the
things in the environment? As objects
to make life more comfortable? As
means to fulfil your needs? As a gift?
Explain your answer.
2. What does “observe prudence and
frugality towards the environment
“means to you?
3. What is your opinion regarding the
various environmental movements you
hear about? Do you think these
movements create a big impact in
saving our natural environment from
total destruction, or have you come to
a point of cynicism and hopelessness
in relation to this problem?
4. Based on the sustainability score, how
many of these products still if they
scored below 5? Would you support
these products still if they scored
below 5? Why? What are your main
reasons for patronizing a product?
a. cost/affordability
b. brand prestige
c. efficiency
d. durability
5. Have you ever purchased a product for
the main reason that is environment-
friendly? If not, why?

What Is It?
 Our relationship with our environment has
evolved throughout history. During the
pre- modern times we situated ourselves as
an integral part of the universe, created in
the same “stuff” as the other things in

nature and governed by the same natural
laws and cosmic pattern. As such, humans
have tried to maintain the balance and
harmony with nature (cosmos – centric
approach). Later on, humans believed that
we were God’s co-creators and stewards of
the rest of creation, given the authority to
responsibility use creation for their needs
and at the same time, the responsibility to
take good care of them for the generations
to come (theocentric approach). During the
modern era and up to the present science
dominated the landscape: we discovered
that we have the ability to control and
tame nature to meet our desires
(anthropocentric approach). This,
however, led to the unabated destruction
of the natural world to meet our
unquenchable needs. Our goal now is to
assess our own selves and find the right
approach in dealing with nature in order to
save whatever is left of it, before it is too
late.
 We are the ultimate culprit of all forms of
environmental degradation and we are the
only ones who can also arrest it. We need
to change our materialistic and
consumeristic lifestyle that is rooted on
greed and selfishness. There is such a
thing as sustainable development defined
as a development that meets the needs of
the present without compromising the
ability of future generations to meet their
own needs.

C. Engagement What’s More?

1. Research on a pressing environment

that confronts us today. Read the
discussions around this problem
among scientist, traditional media,
social media, NGOs, government.
Identify the approach used by each
response.
2. Discuss which among the given
approaches should be used to address
our environmental problems today.
3. Is human progress or progress of
society possible without abusing

natural environment? Depend your
answer.
4. It is said that man’s greed is the root
cause of all forms of environmental
degradation. Do you agree? Support
your stand.
5. What is Education for Sustainable
Development (ESD)? How does this
relate to this lesson?
6. What is the Paris agreement on
climate change? Write down your
comment.

What I Can do?

In your journal, answer the following questions.
1. What would a balance among cosmos-
centrism, theocentrism and
anthropocentrism look like for you?
Imagine using this balanced approach in
restricting your behavior and attitude
towards the environment for a day.
2. Write down your activities from the time
you wake up to the time you sleep, this
time with a better attitude towards the
environment on that imagined day. Do you
think you can adapt this behavior in your
everyday life?
3. Research on rivers in the world that have
been polluted for years but were brought
back of life. How this was made possible?
Based on your research findings, do you
think our dying rivers in the Philippines
can also be saved? How?
4. Did you ever wonder about the
implications of the term Mother Earth?
Why not Father Earth?
