The Department of Environment and Natural Resources are responsible for taking care of the country’s natural resources through exploration, development, utilization, and conservation. While this department is in charge of conserving our natural resources, most of these resources are being used to make different kinds of products that would be used by many citizens in the country within their everyday lives. However, those products contains different ingredients and consuming the use of our resources slowly with much production within that same product. If we keeping using that same ingredient, then there would be a low supply of that same ingredient within our environment. Which is why I propose to have the Department of Environment and Natural Resources implement the Consumer Act of the Philippines (RA 7394). The Consumer Act can help balance the use of ingredients and chemicals that are being gathered from the country’s natural resources and being manufactured into different products that we all know and consume. But what are the reasons why the Consumer Act is needed to be implemented within the Department of Environment and Natural Resources? Questions are needed to be answered and this Consumer Act implementation is helpful for the environment and the natural resources in our country.
As stated in the beginning, the Philippines is known for it’s supply of natural resources within their environment and some of those resources are being used to make and manufacture products for people to be using in their everyday lives. However, with most companies that are manufacturing these products, they don’t always manage the uses into their products and would be wasting those components in their products that they think aren’t very useful to combine with their products. This causes to lower the supply within the country and throwing it away into garbage waste and we don’t want the country to slowly cover itself in waste.
“Safety is the number one priority”, and that is being reminded by everyone that are using such products that can be flammable and damaging to the environment. Everyone must the safety rules behind different components and ingredients in a single product, especially if they can cause a, rather, big accident if it is not being used properly. Know, most companies for different products are not being careful of what they are adding to their products, but having the consumer act is the perfect law in making sure that the products are safe and not hazardous to the consumers, keeping the environmental atmosphere clean and not ruined by chemical fumes from within our products.
There wouldn’t be a single product without any toxic chemicals and/or substances that many companies are using for these products. If the previous reason is discussing about ensuring the kinds of products are being made for safe and not hazardous for consumption use, this talks about certain things are needed to be inspected before they’re being added and ending with the finished product. Most chemicals or substances are more toxic than others, that would lead to different conditions that can effect the environment. Ensuring the safety of many, having an inspection check of certain chemicals and substances before being added into the products is a must, and this won’t be an effective case for people to have an issue with it, along with the environment as well.
Everyone is needed to be careful with the products being used by many people in their everyday lives. Even if the Department of Environment and Natural Resources is doing a great job of supervising the use of different natural resources in the country’s environment. But there are some parts that the department needs to take care of, like managing the use and waste of our natural resources, most especially with the use of toxic chemicals and substances in our products.
We all need to take care of ourselves, but the environment needs taking care as well. Being careful with how we use our products means that we are purposely taking care of the environment and NOT wasting the goods of our natural resources that are being put into the products.
