    This document discusses two ecological principles: interdependence and interconnectedness, and the law of limits and population dynamics. For interdependence, it provides the example of how humans rely on crops that they cultivate, and the crops provide food in return. For population dynamics, it explains that areas can only support a maximum number of individuals and availability of resources, using the example of an overpopulated island with snakes experiencing scarcity of prey. It also discusses an ethical position of allowing modernized electric jeepneys to reduce pollution, and applying an environmental attitude of preservation given the social and economic costs of changing to electric vehicles.

    1. Select two ecological/environmental
    principles and  explain by giving examples ( 10 points)

    Interdependence and Interconnectedness

    We live in a world where we do not exist for ourselves. From our birth, we came
    from our biological mothers which immediately connects us with another living being.
    Growing up humans shall be exposed to culture within their family and the environment
    they live in. Cultures can be connected to nature like the concept of festivals, for
    example here in Dasmariñas, the municipality relates the growth of the city to a
    butterfly’s metamorphosis. A butterfly goes through a rigorous process to become
    something more beautiful. Living things rely on each other and has a give and take
    relationship. Humans needs to take care of their crops, cultivating them regularly for the
    crops to grow healthily. As time progresses, these crops would produce fruits as it ends
    it cycle to provide humans food. There could also be a process of pollination during this
    course connecting certain plants in one area to another. It is like a domino effect which
    benefits numerous beings.

    Law of Limits and Population Dynamics

    One of the limits of our nature is that there can never be too much of something.
    Earth is finite in accommodating certain amount of beings. Just like a scale sides must
    be even so there would be no imbalance. Imbalance disrupts the concept of being
    connected as there less factors of each side to contribute benefits. For example, if an
    island started to overpopulate with snakes there would be a scarcity in prey as demand
    for food shall increase. The same way with cities being overpopulated with citizens. An
    area can only hold maximum amount of individuals residing may it be space living as
    well as availability of resources like water and food.

    2. Cite one (1) ethical position and one (1) environmental
    attitude or behavior  which you can apply as
    a student of  Environmental Science. Explain your answer ( 10 points)

    An ethical position is that the society should allow the modernization of jeepneys.
    The new set of vehicles will be more environment friendly as it is operated with electric
    motors powered by batteries. It would greatly reduce the pollution coming from public
    utility vehicle. The advantages of this modernization can greatly affect transportation
    flow, improved public comfort and safety. An environmental attitude I can apply to this
    take is the preservation ethic. Jeepney modernization will come along with great social
    and economic costs. Franchising would be more costly that the traditional ones which
    cannot be accommodated by current jeepney operators. When it comes to the social
    cost, traditional jeepneys are part of the Filipino culture thus some may say that we are
    eradicating such identity. However, we are already experiencing the major disadvantage
    of traditional jeepneys because of its major contribution to air pollution. Minding that we
    should preserve clean air for the sake of our well-beings and to remember that the world
    will not immediately heal itself if we continue damaging it. One can raise awareness
    about the importance of clean air and the effect of smoke emissions from vehicles to our
    ozone layer by sharing correct facts from reliable sources.
