i believe you guys  have noticed the sudden changes in temperature and weather in baguio and the cordilleras in general and other places you've been...i believe that some of you guys also heard or watched the documentary of Al Gore regarding global warming..The oil spills, massive deforestation, pesticides, paints, hair sprays, etc..are things that are affecting our environment.

Environmental issues and concerns are not really something that we should just ignore..if we neglect our planet, we are in a way neglecting ourselves...we only have one earth, we must take good care of it...dont want to sound sentimental but really in my heart, i am for environmental revolution...i min, i am very much concerned about how we should promote and take care of our environment and thus must do something now... shouldn't it b the concern of each and every individual? now adays, we rarely talk about environmental issues anymore it appears we are satisfied with wat is going on. But for how long?

So, why dont we talk about the environment  this time..

Lets start with baguio..the once called greenest and cleanest city..do you agree? ganun p rin b ngaun?

TAke a look at Trading post in La trinidad..Irisan dumpsite.. La trinidad dump site...the balili river...the BEACHES in La Union...Mt. Pulag (which according to reports, is infiltrated by loggers) and other places...the air we breathe, the food we eat, are they that safe?


any comment? argument? wat can we do? wat do you think? wat can u say?

That's part of development but here I think it's mostly due to overpopulation. Just look at the mountains, it's way too overcrowded! :

is population highly correlated with global warming?

Yeah this country needs to aggressively promote birth control! Natural or synthetic, whatever and to hell with the ultra-conservative religious leaders think or more appropriately, interpret of what God says on the issue. It just doesn't work in some parts of the real world, like in the Philippines!

Don't know the extent of correlation between population and global warming but overpopulation leads to deforestation and all sorts of pollution. :buck2:

i agree...in addition, man's lack of discipline...if only all smokers would be responsible and disciplined to throw away their cigarette butts on proper places,  that cud help a lot.

better if they quit coz they would also b helping themselves...cant tell them to stop smoking coz that might be against their rights too...hehehe

The thing there is that everybody is concern about the environment and we really do, but the DENR doesnt, they are the one issuing ECC and permits when it comes to land utilization.(mining,dams,logging,etc) They are suppose to implement a strict laws to protect the environment but i dont think they are doing it, not talking the whole of DENR, crocs everywhere. Baguio is one of the best destinations in the country and we want it to be as cool as it is when it comes to people and nature. Makapamiss ti agusar ti leather jacket and boots. Times they're changing!

i agree...pro wag n ntin cla asahan...if u have the authority, friends and determination, create a group and seek assistance from other environmental groups like Green Peace or pati DENR met lng, they provide seedlings and your group will plant those seedlings or can be other activities not only tree planting that helps and promotes the environment...uray syak "suportahan taka" nu kasta nga banag... O0 O0 O0...tapnu agpayso maisubli jay dati nga baguio and who knows, better Philippines!!!naks!! ^-^ ^-^ ^-^

been watching local and international news and really the effect of man's destruction of mother nature is taking effect. floods everywhere, freak storms and rising temperature.

there will always be a debate on the hows and the whys regarding this.

we all do our share simple as they may be. and i agree with all the answers and solutions.
and the best solutions are often the simplest.

this is cute putting a bit humour with it  anyway yeah floods are worse, almost all over the world accounts to global warming the former vice president of USA VP AlGhore is promoting to avoid global warming around the world and we should also do our part, participate in preventing the cause,

indeed, it is the duty of every citizen to do simple ways to help prevent global warming...we can start it in our selves, our homes, the things we use and the things we do...this is not just a concern of the few but a concern of humanity...if we will not do something today, it will soon backfire to us.

We drunk too much along session in the mid 90s, agsusup pay ngem you know what? pagtrippan mi ti agsagad ken agpidot ti Basura agrugi Piltel inngana diay baba. Some vendors gave us free candy as to say they appreciate but to think they're grateful for someone is helping them clean after they are done selling. We offered coffee  and chat to the streetcleaners before they start their day, Its a good experience i want to share beside just being drunk and wasted. I dont know with the Session Road Divisoria now that their only concern is to make money with piracy or legal merchandise without minding their environment..For Baguio is dirty now, accept it. Sometimes while drunk watching the stars lying down melvin jones after midnight, we talked about ideas to think  the reason there are Storm rages and floods is what natures answer to our own irresponsible littering for it to clean and washed it out, this is just a drunk thought, but was a positive response.  tree planting is really a good help, Let us help each other clean Baguio even in little ways..Adopt a City street/park, like you and your family, your frat/sorority members, drunk buddies, classmates, you and your girlfriend to have a portion of the city to clean up once in a while or every weekend. I am sure with the Global issues, we are doing the GREATEST thing to our beloved City of Pines, to our country and to the whole world. Remember we are branded as one of the City that has the worse air besides the summer capital of Baguio! Let us help clean Baguio its for our children too!Thank you!

God bless!
