July 28, 2021, Siniloan, Laguna, Sierra Madre Mountain Range. The very 8 committed employees of Bluestone hiked the challenging terrain of the Laguna Quezon Land Grant (LQLG) in Siniloan to plant 657 seedlings as part of their annual regular commitment to reforestation. The participants are unfaced with the non stop rain and cold weather they were able to trek 2 km one way. Raining, the usual moderate trek became a difficult trek due to the slippery and muddy terrain. 
Again the people are very inspired to help and prepare the land for the planting site, Bluestone provide a secure livelihood for the local community for the next 12 months. Everyone is exhausted but when they reach the top ridge with views of all the ranges, they are energized to plant!

What can I do to stop climate change?
“As the world warms, extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and intense, sea levels are rising, prolonged droughts are putting pressure on food crops, and many animal and plant species are being driven to extinction. It’s hard to imagine what we as individuals can do to resolve a problem of this scale and severity.
The good news: We are not alone. People, communities, cities, businesses, schools, faith groups and other organizations are taking action. We’re fighting like our lives depend on it — because they do.
In a world of more than seven billion people, each of us is a drop in the bucket. But with enough drops, we can fill any bucket.” – David Suzuki
