Ready, Set, Green!


Malls in the Philippines are now taking green initiatives to help save our environment. It started with SM Supermalls last 2008 with their 'Trash to Cash' program or known as 'waste market day'. Mall goers can convert their trash or recyclables into cash at any SM parking lots. Meanwhile, Ayala Malls also launched their project 'Recyclables Fair'. It started last April 2009 and still ongoing in all Ayala Malls in the Philippines. Actually tomorrow (Feb 27, 2010) Marquee Mall, an Ayala Mall in Angeles City Pampanga will start their recyclables fair "Ready, Set, Green". If you are a mall-goer, better not to miss this chance of creating a cleaner and greener environment.

Moreover, aside from malls, a lot of companies in the Philippines are also getting involved in saving our environment. To name a few, there's San Carlos Bioenergy, E-Cane Fuel Corp, SECURA International Corp, Montalban Methane Power Corp, and Energy Development Corp (EDC). These companies are all promoting the use of green technologies for a better environment. They primarily help in deriving sustainable and green energy at a cost efficient process.

Many are now involved. Are you ready to go green?

Just remember, while you save the environment, you also strengthen the economy. Whatever green activities you get involved with even in the simplest form, you can help create a big difference in the world.

By the way, do you have other go-green activities in mind for this Summer 2010?

Benefits of Mangrove Planting

Mangroves are salt-tolerant trees that grow in tropical and subtropical seashores. These areas are hard-hitting places for plants to grow. Mangroves can thrive in salty water and survive in harsh conditions because of their strong roots that can filter the salinity of the sea and only consume the fresh water it needs. Aside from its ability to stand against the salty water of the sea, Mangrove is also well known to contribute to the overall health of the coastal area by providing food, shelter and environmental protection for marine organisms, nest dwellers and even humans living near seashores. This family of shrubs traps and rotates different elements, chemicals, and minerals. Their roots acts as block and provide environmental protection for some various marine organism such as fish and seashells. They also provide food for various marine species such as oyster, shrimp, tarpon, jack, and snook. Not only the marine organisms benefit in mangroves, but their branches also serve...
