Abstract

The only planet where life is consistently present is Earth. In light of this, we believe it is crucial to create a feeling of urgency about protecting Mother Earth from various actions that endanger the globe. Since the earth is absolutely essential to human life, it must be safeguarded. If superior beings like humans are dedicated, they can find solutions to environmental issues. We have obligations to Mother Earth as an educational institution and as global citizens. In order to evaluate Capiz State University’s goal statement on environmental consciousness, this study was carried out to determine the Earth-savers’ dedication of its faculty and staff. 316 responders were chosen by stratified random sampling from the various universities. Using Google Forms, a survey questionnaire was utilized to collect data from the participants. Utilizing frequency, percentage, and mean, the collected data was examined. The majority of responders were married, female, and between the ages of 46 and 55. The three environmental issues that respondents are most concerned about are plastic pollution, global warming, and pollution of the air and water. Regarding single-use plastic, fresh food preservation, paper consumption, genetically modified organisms, food waste, vehicle emissions, composting, energy conservation, planting, ozone depletion, biodiversity loss, habitat degradation, climate change, air pollution, overpopulation, sea level rise, and waste to SAVE MOTHER EARTH, faculty and staff respondents were willing to commit.
