Table 1 presents the respondent' level of adaptation of programs on

climate change in terms of reducibility. For LSPU-SCC, it revealed that items
1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9, and 10 got the remarks of Almost Always, except item 7
got the remark of often. As reflected, item predictor number 6 using public
transportation in going to the University got the highest mean of 4.63 and
with SD of 0.58, and item number 7 using indigenous materials rather than
using plastic materials got the lowest mean of 4.18 and with SD of 0.79.
The overall mean score of 4.38 indicated that the level of adaptation of
programs on climate change reducibility is highly implemented, this is
supported by the study of Jackson (2008) stated that in order to achieve a
decent waste management system, rules and regulations in university
campuses must minimize the production of waste at each and every school
community and every student level. The less utilization of materials results in
less waste generated university. And also supported the study of Daniel
(2011) that every individual could contribute to reducing waste by different
means like buying and using less, especially buying the products that have
long life span, repairing the broken materials in spite of replacing them,
choosing walking as a healthy option instead of using private vehicles for
certain distances, increasing the use of public transportation, using
indigenous materials rather than using plastic materials.
For LSPU-Siniloan, it showed that purchasing commodities/materials
that are only required, buying products that have long life span and using

public transportation in going to the University have the highest weighted

mean of 4.63 with standard deviation of 0.52, 0.61 and 0.64 interpreted as
Almost Always. As was indicated, all the samples under reducibility
resulted to Almost Always with an overall mean of 4.49 interpreted as
Highly Implemented. Thus, most of the respondents are inclined to reduce
waste to adapt the program on climate change.
For LSPU-LB, it further indicated the mean score of 4. 62,SD=0.56;
4.57,SD=0.62 and 4.62, SD=0.64, obtained by the following questions such
as Purchasing Commodities/Materials that are only required, Buying products
that have long life span, and Using public transportation in going to the
university respectively with a remarks of strongly agree. The average
standard deviation of 0.65 reveals that the rating given by the respondents on
the level of adaptation of programs on climate change in terms of reducibility
are on the same range. The grand mean of 4.47, implies that the level of
adaptation on climate change in terms of reducibility was rated strongly agree
and verbal interpretation of highly adapted.

Table 2 presents the level of adaptation of programs on climate change

in terms of reusability. For LSPU-SCC, it revealed that items 1,6,7,8,9, and 10

got the remarks of almost always. And items 2,3,4,5, got the remarks of
often.

As reflected, item number 8 using used boxes got the highest

mean of 4.47 and with SD of 0.62, and item number 4 renting/ borrowing an
item instead of buying new product got the lowest mean of 4.03 and with SD
of 0.82.
The overall mean score of 4.28 indicated that the level of adaptation of
programs on climate change reusability is highly implemented, this is
supported in a 2005 article, that zero waste institutes stated that reduction in
waste production is the first step in waste management.
Less production means less effort for management. Local authorities
play a vital role in reduction of waste. Mainly, school colleges waste can be
minimized if it is treated carefully within the school premises. There are efforts
by the government on different levels like media and public education to
minimize school colleges waste. Industrial level also concerned about
reduction but not sufficient enough to make a change.
Reduction is the first and most important stage in the hierarchy. It
includes taking an active view in purchasing and using only what is necessary
for individual and community. The idea of reduction is to be careful of material
source stream and waste management exercises to reduce raw materials.
For LSPU-Siniloan, it showed that sample number 1, recycling waste
materials such as papers, glass, aluminium, bottles to maintain clean
environment got the highest weighted mean of 4.68 and standard deviation of

0.58 among the respondents with a verbal interpretation of Almost Always

while the lowest mean of 4.35 and 0.63 standard deviation in terms
recyclability is the segregation of non-biodegradable and biodegradable
waste for easier classification of waste materials interpreted also as Almost
Always. Further, the overall weighted mean is 4.46 with standard deviation of
0.60 interpreted as Highly Implemented.
Leones (2015) stated that more than a decade since the enforcement
of its waste management law, improper waste disposal remains one of the
Philippiness big environmental problem. The main problem is the funding for
the implementation of solid waste management schemes as under RA 9003,
the local government units (LGUs) are the main actors.
On the school problem, some students lack discipline to separate the
biodegradables from the non-biodegradables despite knowing that sorting
garbage helps nurture the beauty of the surroundings.
For LSPU-LB, it further indicated the mean score of 4.40, SD=0.69,
obtained by the question such as Do you recycle? With a remarks of strongly
agree. The average standard deviation of 0.71 reveals that the rating given by
the respondents on the level of adaptation of programs on climate change in
terms of recyclability are on the same range. The grand mean of 4.32, implies
that the level of adaptation on climate change in terms of recyclability was
rated strongly agree and verbal interpretation of highly adapted.

item predictor number 5 supplying recycled containers or outreached

materials in the classrooms to minimize garbage got the lowest mean of 4.17
and with SD of 0.78.
The overall mean score of 4.32 indicated that the level of adaptation of
programs on climate change recyclability is highly implemented, this is
supported in the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in
2006 provide tips on how to reduce waste in the community and here are the
following: a.) use products made with recycled materials b.) use energyefficient light bulbs and rechargeable batteries; c.) shop with cloth bags d.)
reuse plastic bags, cups, containers, etc. e.) repair items instead of throwing
them away and f.) compost your food and yard waste.
For LSPU-Siniloan, as clearly shown on the table, Reusing scrap
materials into a new and functional item has the highest weighted mean of
4.43 and 0.72 standard deviation interpreted as Almost Always which
indicates that most of the respondents are fond of reusing scrap materials in
producing or making new item with a overall mean of 4.33 and 0.71 standard
deviation interpreted as Highly Implemented.
For LSPU-LB, it further indicated the mean score of 4. 68,SD=0.54;
and 4.52,SD=.06 obtained by the following questions such as throwing away
materials that are of no use and using used boxes respectively with a remarks
of strongly agree. The average standard deviation of 0.60 reveals that the

Table 5 presents the status of go green LSPU as to water

conservation. For LSPU-SCC, it reflected that items 1,2,7,8, and 9 got the
remarks of almost always. And items 3,4,5,6, and 10 got the remarks of
often.

As revealed, item number 8 turning the tap off as soon as you've

washed your hands got the highest mean of 4.42 and with SD of 0.67, and
item number 3 throwing the garbage in the river/lake got the lowest mean of

3.83 and with SD of 1.28.

The overall mean score of 4.17 indicated the status of go green LSPU
as to water conservation is implemented, this is supported as mentioned in
the study of Barba (2005), one of the most critical issues confronting the
Philippine water sector is the lack of an appropriate institutional framework to
address issues of development and management of water and related
resources.
At present, there are over 30 government agencies and departments
separately dealing with water supply, irrigation, hydropower, flood control,
pollution, watershed management, etc. It is this fragmented approach to water
management which causes an overlap of work and conflicts among agencies
and results in a fractional water management plan that does not adequately
meet the requirements for sustainability.

green LSPU as to energy conservation is highly implemented, this is

supported as stated in an article entitled Energy-efficient Schools Energy
conservation is a critical issue affecting everyone, including schools.
Government policy initiatives and evolving society awareness are changing
energy-use patterns.
For LSPU-Siniloan, it revealed the status of go green LSPU in terms of
energy conservation. Turning off the lights when leaving the room got the
highest weighted mean of 4.78 and 0.49 standard deviation interpreted as
Almost Always, while reusing paper and bottles had the lowest mean of

questions such as participating in a clean-up drive, supporting schools

advocacy in protecting the school environment and inform the school
community about solid waste management respectively with a remarks of
strongly agree. The average standard deviation of 0.73 reveals that the rating
given by the respondents on the level of adaptation of programs on climate
change in terms of the status of Go Green LSPU as to Greening of
Classrooms and Offices are on the same range. The grand mean of 4.44,
implies that the level of adaptation on climate change in terms of the status of
Go Green LSPU as to Greening of Classrooms and Offices was rated
strongly agree and verbal interpretation of highly adapted.
