CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
In the face of escalating climate change, the imperative for proactive intervention
has never been more urgent. The adverse impacts of global warming are increasingly
evident, from extreme weather events to biodiversity loss and dwindling agricultural
productivity. To combat this existential threat, our proposal aims to harness the power of
nature through a comprehensive seed planting initiative. By strategically planting trees
and vegetation, we seek to mitigate carbon emissions, enhance ecosystem resilience,
and foster sustainable development.
This project proposes a multi-faceted approach, leveraging community
engagement, environmental development, and the long-term common good that
positively influences the future of the place we live in. By encouraging people to practice
seed planting, developing awareness on global warming, and initiating a movement that
will gradually alleviate global warming, we aim to create a grassroots movement
dedicated to reforestation and ecological restoration. Through the efforspartnerships with
leading research institutions and environmental organizations, we will implement cuttingedge methodologies to maximize the efficacy and scalability of our efforts.
By empowering individuals to become stewards of their environment, we envision
a future where vibrant forests and green spaces thrive, serving as vital carbon sinks and
sanctuaries for biodiversity. Through this project, we aspire to not only mitigate the
impacts of global warming but also inspire a paradigm shift towards a more harmonious
relationship between humanity and the natural world.
CHAPTER II
OBJECTIVES
In alignment with our overarching goal of mitigating the adverse effects of global
warming, the following objectives have been identified to guide the implementation of the
Seed Planting Project:
1. Ecosystem Restoration and Biodiversity Conservation: To restore degraded
ecosystems and safeguard biodiversity by promoting the regeneration of natural
habitats, creating diverse and resilient ecosystems capable of supporting a wide
range of plant and animal species.
2. Community Engagement and Empowerment: To foster a sense of ownership
and responsibility for environmental stewardship among local communities,
empowering them to actively participate in reforestation efforts through educational
programs, capacity-building workshops, and participatory decision-making
processes.
3. Climate Resilience and Adaptation: Recognizing the inevitability of climate
change impacts, we aim to enhance the resilience of ecosystems and communities
to withstand and adapt to environmental changes. By planting diverse and climateresilient species, implementing sustainable land management practices, and
integrating traditional knowledge with scientific expertise, we seek to build adaptive
capacity and reduce vulnerability to climate-related risks such as droughts, floods,
and wildfires.
4. Scalability and Replicability: We aspire to develop a scalable and replicable
model that can be adapted and implemented in diverse geographical contexts and
socio-economic settings.

METHODOLOGY
1. Implementation
1.1.
Seed-Planting Method
In planting the seeds, the traditional way is to be hands-on which
include digging soil and inserting the seed inside the hole, covering it with
the soil that has been pulled out and finally to pour water in the area.
However, for this project proposal, we chose to replicate an alternative that
is feasible, convenient, and both time and energy saving. We are able to
retrieve this method from a source namely, Joan De Art. Accordingly, it feeds
pollinators and wildlife, repairs the soil, restores depleted water tables, traps
carbon and creates oxygen. This called the Seed Bomb. This is made by
mixing hot water, shredded paper, and seeds. It is then shaped into a ball
and is left to dry for hours.
1.2.
Materials
The materials needed for this project are available and extremely
affordable especially for students like the proponents. To craft a seed bomb,
it only needs:
 Hot water
 Shredded Paper
 Seeds
 Physical effort
1.3.
Distribution to the Community
The expected production of the seed bomb is enough to be distributed to
numerable people within the barangay. The proponents are to plant seeds
in deforested areas in Barangay San Roque and at the same time hand it
to locals around the area. We will
