TARA! TARA! TARA! concert set this September 29

on September 29, 2012, Earth Day Jam Foundation and Corregidor Foundation Inc., in cooperation with Dimitri Productions, invites everyone to join in with the whole community of Corregidor in a clean up drive for the Manila Bay. the said activity is also inline with the international coastal clean up happening at the same date.

this campaign is to promote cleanliness not just only in Corregidor but for all of us to be responsible in all of the shorelines worldwide. as the tourist spot is historically important for all Filipinos, we are also aware of the diverse wildlife of the island, which is equally important.

so why Corregidor and not at Manila Bay? in the recent events of flooding and storm, garbage from nearby coasts of Bataan, Cavite and Manila has been driven to the shores of Corregidor greatly affects the image of the island as a sanctuary of environmental and historical living.

not long ago, monkeys, deers and different kinds of aviary species said to dwell on the island. people who live in the island also do fishing for a living which we are also enjoying on our plates. with this clean up drive, we will be able to revive the glorious Corregidor island.

the concert party to be held as the sun sets will be participated by local artists like Lou Bonnevie, Kitchie Nadal, Megan Aguilar, the Drum Circle, and Pure Sound among others. this is intended to make the environmental cause to be fun and raise more awareness in taking care of the environment.

power and geothermal power.

YOUR OWN PLANET – Is your house a mess? Well, how about taking care of an entire planet? Alter Space lets gamers protect their own planets by reducing their Carbon Footprint.

Blog Event of the Month: do they ever get tired of going up?

as the start of the new school year approaches, it is not questionable that there will be more students out of school. it's due because a percentage of the household budget has been alloted to the basic commodities which, oh my Lord, the prices are soaring high! i suppose this all can be blamed to the rapid oil price increase where all needs depend. every commodity goes with its increase and the result is every other else is sacrificed.

since diesel is needed for the transport of goods, suppliers have no choice but to set their prices higher to sustain the allocation on diesel. I think the product prices only change following the law of supply and demand.

the price of food has gone higher. and it will be if diesel still goes high;
fares have too, I remember when I started commuting, it was only Php 1.50 minimum and now they are proposing to raise it to Php 10!

i mean, everything has become so expensive that the masses have to sacrifice other things and one of them is very important such as education. for even tuition fees also increased and the parents resort is to stop their children from going to school. which is not right. I have been very lucky to finish schooling. but what about the younger ones? isn't the world should be responsible to give the children some education? and not just profiteering on the poor people. that would result to the increase of uneducated people who will be doing even the most dangerous things in the world in able to survive and the big people take advantage of.

i hope that this will be resolved very soon. i wonder why sometimes saving just doesn't work! if i could propose at least to give a one-day holiday for everyone where no one will use diesel-powered engines and instead use bicycles. it's not only good for the body but also for the environment. provide jobs nearest to everyone nearest to their homes, and focus to the jobs that really provide the needs like farming, teaching and practicing in medicine.

i hope everyone will realize that it is easier to live simpler.

Earth Hour

On 29 March 2008 the Philippines will join countries around the world as we literally "turn the lights out" for Earth Hour - an event that will fuel awareness on climate change and prove that when the people of the world work together, they can make a difference in the fight against global warming.

Earth Hour will take place throughout the Philippines from 8 to 9 in the evening on Saturday night, 29 March 2008. WWF invites you to participate by shutting off lights for 60 minutes, organizing your own "lights-out" event or by forwarding this mail to your friends, workmates and family.

Launched in Australia on the 31st of March 2007, Earth Hour moved 2.2 million people and 2100 businesses in Sydney to turn off their lights for one hour. This massive collective effort reduced the city's energy consumption by 10.2% for one hour. With Sydney icons like the Harbour Bridge and Opera House turning their lights off and unique events such as weddings by candlelight, the world took notice. Inspired by the collective effort of millions of Sydneysiders, many major global cities are joining Earth Hour in 2008, turning a symbolic event into a global movement.

YOUR participation will go a long way in spreading the message that we, as individual droplets working collectively - can create an impetus far more powerful than the mightiest of rivers. For more information, log on to the WWF Earth Hour page at: www.earthhour.org
