Management (Module 2) MR. ARJUNE ANTIVO LUMAYNO

TOPICS 1.ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS 2.ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS 3.ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

OBJECTIVES 1. Oriented with the different categories of environmental problems such as Air pollution, Loss of Biodiversity, and etc.   2. Evaluate feasible and scientific ways of providing solutions in addressing environmental problems.   3. Outline the Four basic principles of Sustainability and deepen the significance of each care instruction.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS, THEIR CAUSES, AND SUSTAINABILITY

GUIDE 1. Identify the environmental problem. QUESTIONS: 2. What do you think are the causes of the problem?

3. What are the possible solutions to address the problem?

4. As (your course) student, what do you think is your role to solve the problem?
