Inaaani na ng Pilipinas ang kabiguan ng mamamayan na pangalagaan ang kalikasan.
Ayon kay Cotabato archbishop Orlando Cardinal Quevedo, hindi sana malala ang epekto ng kahit anong kalamidad kung sinunod lamang ng tao ang panawagan ng Simbahan noon na “adopt a mountain” kung saan ito ay tataniman ng mga puno.

Kaugnay nito, hinimok ni Cardinal Tagle ang bawat isa na magbahagi ng tulong sa kalikasan halimbawa ng hindi pagsusunog ng basura, paghihiwalay ng mga basurang nabubulok at hindi nabubulok, pagtitipid sa paggamit ng kuryente at iba pa.
