Responding to Climate Change

        " Once you damage the environment, it will take a long period to recover. " ~ Dalai Lama, Tibet's exiled spiritual leader.
        One of the reason why we are now experiencing climate change is because we are not taking good care of our environment. We continue to do such things that can damage it. Birds cry for they are doomed to die. The Asian Development Bank reports that the Philippines has the worst record of forest preservation. About 97 percent of its forests have been logged; and more than 50 percent of which is believed to have been burnt and cleared through illegal logging.
        What would become of humanity now? Doesn't a forest of trees breathes in carbon dioxide and breathes out oxygen humans need to live? If trees didn't breathe, could humans do? They could. But not for long.
        With our awakened consciousness and concerted efforts, we can help boost Mother Nature back to her grandeur and splendor. We are one people, one planet, one earth... We must remember that we are much closer to each other.
