Ask mo sarili mo today: Anong nagawa ko to help save the Planet?

[jhacen]

chef, alam ko toxic yan sa human at flammable din. Ginagamit namin sa lab yan para mag test ng heavy metals ie Al, copper, iron ...

That is true jhacen.

kaso, kakainis ang amoy.

is H2S harmful to plants?

[Sparring Gloves]

nice project...

but shame does not really come to politicians...

anyways, plant more dude...

Another again brother, a year after i organized the tree planting in my hometown. Again i was able to use UP Visayas influence to DENR PENRO + BFAR and acquired 5,000 seedlings of Mangrove Trees. There where no problems in organizing the youths for the Provincial School principal supported us on these, but the real issue is the fishpond owners. Fishpond owners specially the developed ones treat mangrove trees as their enemy. Enemy as a nuisance on fishpond development plus a favorite place of King Crabs which is a real piss off to fishpond ***es.

Anyway what can the fishpond owners do to groups being backed in by DENR and BFAR. Those tree planting and mangrove events where not just a one time event after care and survey results are on mandatory.

Many years passed by say 16 years to be exact hehehe ayun our place is so cold even at summer. Dumami ang mga bayawak and mga not so poisonous na ahas and a over supply of spring water resulted to a barrio water system na hehehe. At least i do have my small share sa area namin and people around tends to replace for whatever hardwood trees na magagamit nila a result of my tree planting scheme.

inudutan ko halaman ng nanay ko sa paso pero namatay yong halaman. kala ko lalago yong halaman pero naging brown imbes na green. galit na galit ang nanay ko tuloy sa akin.

Tsaka kapag ilaw mas tipid ka pa sa CFL kaysa sa mahal na magastos pa sa kuryente.

You can help to reduce the demand for fossil fuels, which in turn reduces global warming, by using energy more wisely. Here are 10 simple actions you can take to help reduce global warming.

1. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Do your part to reduce waste by choosing reusable products instead of disposables. Buying products with minimal packaging (including the economy size when that makes sense for you) will help to reduce waste. And whenever you can, recycle paper, plastic, newspaper, glass and aluminum cans. If there isn't a recycling program at your workplace, school, or in your community, ask about starting one. By recycling half of your household waste, you can save 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide annually.
2. Use Less Heat and Air Conditioning
Adding insulation to your walls and attic, and installing weather stripping or caulking around doors and windows can lower your heating costs more than 25 percent, by reducing the amount of energy you need to heat and cool your home.

Turn down the heat while you're sleeping at night or away during the day, and keep temperatures moderate at all times. Setting your thermostat just 2 degrees lower in winter and higher in summer could save about 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide each year.

3. Change a Light Bulb
Wherever practical, replace regular light bulbs with compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs. Replacing just one 60-watt incandescent light bulb with a CFL will save you $30 over the life of the bulb. CFLs also last 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs, use two-thirds less energy, and give off 70 percent less heat.

If every U.S. family replaced one regular light bulb with a CFL, it would eliminate 90 billion pounds of greenhouse gases, the same as taking 7.5 million cars off the road.

4. Drive Less and Drive Smart
Less driving means fewer emissions. Besides saving gasoline, walking and biking are great forms of exercise. Explore your community mass transit system, and check out options for carpooling to work or school.

When you do drive, make sure your car is running efficiently. For example, keeping your tires properly inflated can improve your gas mileage by more than 3 percent. Every gallon of gas you save not only helps your budget, it also keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.

5. Buy Energy-Efficient Products
When it's time to buy a new car, choose one that offers good gas mileage. Home appliances now come in a range of energy-efficient models, and compact florescent bulbs are designed to provide more natural-looking light while using far less energy than standard light bulbs.

Avoid products that come with excess packaging, especially molded plastic and other packaging that can't be recycled. If you reduce your household garbage by 10 percent, you can save 1,200 pounds of carbon dioxide annually.

6. Use Less Hot Water
Set your water heater at 120 degrees to save energy, and wrap it in an insulating blanket if it is more than 5 years old. Buy low-flow showerheads to save hot water and about 350 pounds of carbon dioxide yearly. Wash your clothes in warm or cold water to reduce your use of hot water and the energy required to produce it. That change alone can save at least 500 pounds of carbon dioxide annually in most households. Use the energy-saving settings on your dishwasher and let the dishes air-dry.

7. Use the "Off" Switch
Save electricity and reduce global warming by turning off lights when you leave a room, and using only as much light as you need. And remember to turn off your television, video player, stereo and computer when you're not using them.

It's also a good idea to turn off the water when you're not using it. While brushing your teeth, shampooing the dog or washing your car, turn off the water until you actually need it for rinsing. You'll reduce your water bill and help to conserve a vital resource.

8. Plant a Tree
If you have the means to plant a tree, start digging. During photosynthesis, trees and other plants absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. They are an integral part of the natural atmospheric exchange cycle here on Earth, but there are too few of them to fully counter the increases in carbon dioxide caused by automobile traffic, manufacturing and other human activities. A single tree will absorb approximately one ton of carbon dioxide during its lifetime.

9. Get a Report Card from Your Utility Company
Many utility companies provide free home energy audits to help consumers identify areas in their homes that may not be energy efficient. In addition, many utility companies offer rebate programs to help pay for the cost of energy-efficient upgrades.

10. Encourage Others to Conserve
Share information about recycling and energy conservation with your friends, neighbors and co-workers, and take opportunities to encourage public officials to establish programs and policies that are good for the environment.

These 10 steps will take you a long way toward reducing your energy use and your monthly budget. And less energy use means less dependence on the fossil fuels that create greenhouse gases and contribute to global warming.

Ano ang tawag sa activity na yan? recycling o rebicycling?

Very very good and very inspiring ito.

sana dumami ang kagaya mo.
