The fast fashion industry has capitalized on the latest trends by offering cheap, affordable, yet disposable items, contributing to global pollution through solid waste and wastewater. This study aims to assess (a) students' level of awareness regarding the waste contribution of the fast fashion industry, (b) their clothing consumption behavior concerning purchases and utilization, (c) their waste disposal practices, and (d) the relationship between clothing consumption behavior and their level of awareness. The study employs systematic random sampling to determine an appropriate sample size from the student population, resulting in 104 student respondents for the adapted survey. Goodman and Kruskal's Gamma analysis assesses the association between clothing consumption and awareness. The results indicate that the students know about the industry's wastewater and solid waste contribution. However, the study also reveals a negligible to moderate relationship between clothing consumption, including the frequency of purchases and utilization, and their overall awareness. This suggests that despite being highly aware of the environmental issues associated with the fast fashion industry, students continue to support and purchase products from this sector.

To overcome the challenges posed by these tides, local tricycles, a form of public transportation, have been modified with elevated sidecars and driver's seats that remain above the water level. These modified tricycles are locally known as Tikling. This study aims to identify the perceived risks associated with public transportation, specifically Tikling, during tidal flooding events in selected Barangays in Hagonoy, Bulacan, Philippines. The researchers employed a mixed-method design to gather the necessary information and address the study's objectives. Data were collected from 161 respondents, including 130 passengers, 25 Tikling drivers, and six representatives from local government units and the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office. The findings revealed that passengers perceive riding Tikling under different weather conditions, flood levels, and gro...

The objectives are to identify key themes and patterns that emerge from farmers' perceptions, understand the factors influencing acceptance or resistance to hydroponics, gain insight into this modern farming technique's potential advantages and challenges, and create informative material to enhance farmers' perceptions of hydroponics. The study aims to provide valuable information to policymakers, researchers, and agricultural industry stakeholders, contributing to a better understanding of hydroponics' feasibility and potential adoption among small-scale farmers. A series of interviews were conducted, and a thorough thematic analysis was employed to identify recurring themes and trends in the perspectives of small-scale farmers on hydroponics. Findings reveal that hydroponics is not accessible to all farmers, with only a tiny percentage familiar with this farmin...
