“…For food security, the most common adaptive strategies are early planting, irrigation farming, use of food ripeners and mixed cropping, While for water supply, borehole/well sinking, rainwater harvesting, storage tanks, reuse of wastewater, controlled water use were observed. Most of these adaptation techniques were also confirmed by studies carried out by Akanwa and Ezeomedo [7]; Akanwa, et al [26] and Akanwa, et al [27]. Finally, for health risks, multiple baths, use of cooling systems, light clothing, ventilated living areas, use of mosquito nets, and planting of trees were observed in the area.…”

“…Natural and human-induced changes to the environment create environmental consequences that can be favorable or bad. Recent studies have identified the harm caused by the earth's continuous warming due to industrialization and waste-burning, which depletes the ozone layer [41]. Unsustainable activities are profoundly ingrained in the fabric of modern society [42].…”

Climate change contributes to disasters in the Philippines. Most human activities have had negative consequences on the environment, exacerbating global warming. Humans contribute to climate change and global warming by burning fossil fuels, cutting down trees, engaging in improper waste disposal, using electricity, and driving a car. This study assessed the environmental practices of communities in Nueva Ecija, Philippines, and their implications for climate change. Respondents were selected using convenient sampling. A questionnaire delivered online was used to elicit their responses then analyzed the data using SPSS. This study revealed that most post-secondary students do not litter but sometimes burn their trash in an open dump. Most of them used LPG as their primary source of fuel for cooking. Rice production is always the same as producing food waste in food production. Garden waste was sometimes produced. Plastic containers are commonly produced as recyclable wastes. They often dispose of wastes in controlled and regulated open dumpsites by their municipality or city. Due to the pandemic, special wastes like face masks and face shields are disposed of daily. Generally, despite no littering behavior, the respondents never burned their trash or threw it on any body of water. They perceived to disagree that these daily community activities contribute to climate change. Lastly, less than half of them affirmed that there are initiative programs at the barangay level to lessen and eliminate community activities that cause climate change.
