How You Can Save Mother Earth For Real
This entry will be about my mission for my 19th year. I”ve been doing some of these things ever since I became a planeteer. I think that the best way for us to show our love to Mother Earth is by doing these seemingly small things.
- Hold that straw! Plastic straws are among the most abundant debris found on beaches. Marine animals nibble on these, thinking they’re food. Remember: you are fully capable of drinking without the help of a plastic appendage. (I just did this when I ate at Greenwhich earlier. Yay me!)
- Donate those tarps! Tarpaulins are made of non-biodegradable and non-recyclable stuff. Instead of throwing them away, donate them to Earth Day Network, an environmental NGO that turns them into schoolbags for less fortunate children around the Philippines. Contact Ms. Binggirl Clemente at earthday_village@yahoo.com for more details. (I’m thinking of spreading the word to the 200+ student organizations here in UPLB. Or at least start with my classmates and friends.)
