No matter how I tried to inform my neighbors that lighting up into a fire a file of plastic products is one of the major causes to deplete the ozone layer.That they must
halt in practicing it and instead they just file it for other possible recycling purposes to save the ozone layer from depleting.My other neighbors are very hard headed still they do their own things but only to light up their garbage,still.I do not wanted to have an argument with them that I tried to consult our community captain so that they would be inform the real truth why I tried to stop their wrong deeds toward the environment.

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise. (Proverbs 12:15).
Indeed, there are unteachable people who can't accept good teachings. They always consider their ways as right and would follow what they want and would not hear any wise counsel. They are what we call fools.
I think I must commend you for being a concerned citizen. Go and do everything to stop them because the earth needs people like you.

I appreciated your support to my concern in my surroundings.Some of my neighbors do make their chores and keep away all the unnecessary things in their trash before they deposit it in a garbage container so that the city collector may know that it is already segregated as per memorandum to all concern.There are still very select
individuals still keep in making things worst by burning their trashes with the plastic where I scold them and keep them inform of the bad impact it brought forth with the other hazards made by vehicles,factories and other unfriendly chemicals that could hurt the environment.Sometimes I could say to them that I do these things for the good of all not just for the benefit of myself.

I am just concern to all individuals who maybe affected by the effects of global warming.I maybe me or you that can be affected by their doings.This incident is not only in my place because there are many places who have people so hard headed who keeps on doing things not favorable to our environment due to the fact that all people can not make the climate go back to its good presence to all things in earth.
That is why they keep on doing their own things as long as they are happy with it then catastrophe arrive---the only things they would say is the government did not do anything.The government do not know what they are doing and just pinpoint who are to be blame because of their hardheadedness they just blame the government of what they have done before.

I think that's the prudent thing to do - informing the head of your community about what your neighbor is doing. It's sometimes better to do this to avoid getting into an argument with your neighbor especially if you're not buddies with them. And what they're doing, burning trash of plastic products, is really a very irresponsible and environmentally-unfriendly thing to do. I'm not sure but I know that in some communities (barangays), there are ordinances prohibiting the burning of trash. We have such an ordinance where I live.

I was from the Province of Cebu but now I am here in Manila where most people are unmindful of the environment.Even their trashes are thrown out just anywhere not like our province where people are more mature of not throwing just anywhere they wanted to do.I have observe these people that they just are cleaning their surroundings especially at night then someone from their group just light up the garbage without knowing there are plastics in there.I have reminded them yet they just scolded my words that their barangay captain captain would be angry if they do not follow instructions.What should I do with it?I have no choice but to just leave their own vices.

Yes,it is our duty to inform our neighbors and friends about awareness.
if they won't listen to us- that's make us feel bad.
We only want them to know the harm- and also we want them to saved our environment and what we can save for the next generation.

You are right there my friend yet my other neighbors are really tricky and very hard headed because they are still doing it even how I let them red a commentary in a daily newspaper.They say that climate change was the result of so many things that is why they insist to do these things because there is no use the climate before could never be back again.

Burning plastics or trashes is not advisable and strictly prohibited due to bad effects that it may cause in our environment that may contribute to climate change and global warming.It is our right or should I say obligation to inform other people who don't know about it and teach them the proper way of waste disposable.With enough knowledge and wisdom could really help to reduce pollutions in our environment.But still, there are some people who don't understand it no matter how you explain it cause they just believe on things they wanted to believe or things that they your used too.

You are correct there my friend.Somehow others do agree with my explanations and halt what they like to do.Others are really a headache to me because they try to ask so many questions and could become some sort of arguments to some of my neighbors.
They are still are making some smoke out of their garbage that I just tried to leave
them alone with their own selfish ideas that the world was changing and that I could never change it,as if they manage to have a laugh out of it.They even compare it with their own emotions.
