Much hype has been given to climate change, depletion of natural resources, and eventual death of mother earth. So much money is spent by people and organization to inform and educate people on the cause and consequences of climate change. High level organizations, high profile people are involved, and the different modes of media are utilized.
While global concerted efforts are required, and having as key indicator to reduce the carbon emissions, this still cannot translate to what each one person, each one family, each locality , must do to contribute in saving Mother Earth.
In this regard, I believe that a global 5S Program is a key solution. 5S must be initiated and be done by each person in his own area of control. Starting with his home, and in his office or workplace. 5S will eliminate waste, and thus reduce energy consumption, and reduce disposals.
I see this waste management activities in action in Europe specifically in Germany. In essence, what they do is basic waste segregation and recycling which is just a small component of 5S.
I am happy to see this waste management activity in barangays and towns in Cavite initiated by NGOs but again it is not complete and comprehensive as it could be with 5S.
5S has a higher level impact and it can save Mother Earth!
God bless us all!
