“One of the most significant things we can do to improve the condition of the earth is to plant trees. That is why we chose to plant trees; even a small act like that goes a long way toward preserving the environment. When you plant a tree, you are making the decision to leave a legacy. Thank you FEED for this wonderful opportunity. We had so much fun helping the earth.” -Aiyan Delloma🌱
After a short safety talk about the need to wear safety hats, the SAVE volunteers proceeded to commence their trail to their planting site, where it had already been prepared by the forest guards a day prior, with equidistant spacing, species selected and a seedling allocated per hole dug, so the participants only had to watch the demonstration of debagging and planting, compacting and quality control to ensure their part in achieving our typical 90% survival.
Total of 70 trees were planted, of which 35 Lanite and 35 Malaruhat, facilitated by forest guardians Randy Velina, Roger Glipo, Teotimo Argete and Shermae Canzana.

NATURE IS SPEAKING (Narrated by Julia Roberts)
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

In 2015, the Philippine government submitted to the United Nations the country’s commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The country committed to reduce its carbon emissions by 70 percent by 2030. The carbon dioxide reductions will come from the sectors of energy, transport, waste, forestry and industry.
