environmental environmental managementmanagement
Environmental management as strategy for sustainable development requires the understanding of 3 things;
natural processes (both physical and biological ) that operate in the world
role that technology plays in our society and its capacity to alter natural processes as well as solve problems caused by human impact
complex social processes that characterize human populations

1987 Constitution
– ( Article II,Section 16 )- “The State should protect and advance the right of the people to a balanced and healthful ecology in accord with the rhythm and harmony of nature
1987- Executive Order No. 192
- Reorganization of the DENR ,NPCC, NEPC and the Environmental Center of the Philippines- merged -EMB
MANDATEThe EMB is the primary government agency under the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) mandated to formulate, integrate, coordinate, supervise and implement all policies, plans, programs, projects and activities relative to the prevention and control of pollution as well as the management and enhancement of the environment.
In January 2000, the EMB was converted into a line bureau from being a staff bureau of the DENR and the EMB Regional Offices were established.
Section 34 of the Phil. Clean Air Act of 1999 (RA 8749) and Section 2, Rule XLIV of DENR AO No. 2000-81, led to the conversion of EMB into a line bureau of the DENR. Consequently, the Environmental Management and Protected Areas Service (EMPAS) of the DENR regional office was converted into EMB Regional Offices in January 2000.

PRINCIPLES OF SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
1. Waste is a resource. 2.Waste prevention is better than waste
regulation control. 3.An integrated solid waste
management system will best achieve solid waste management goals.
4.All elements of society are fundamentally responsible for solid waste management.
5.Those who generate waste must bear the cost of its management and disposal.
6. Solid waste management should be approached within the context of resource conservation, environmental protection and health, and sustainable development.
7. Solid waste management programs should take into consideration the physical and socio-economic conditions of the concerned communities and be designed according to their specific needs
