29 June 2022, Laguna Quezon Land Grant, Siniloan, Laguna. On June 23rd, Kate and Ally reached out to FEED to inquire about a tree-planting donation they wished to make, having 40 trees planted on behalf of K-Pop group AB6IX’s fandom in the Philippines. We asked them what inspired them to carry out this environmental advocacy, and here’s what they said:
“We are delighted to make the donation albeit small and would love to talk a bit about us, our event, and AB6IX!
We (me, Kate and my friend Ally) are not an established fan group here in the Philippines for the K-POP group AB6IX but we really wanted to do something fun for their 3rd anniversary so we joined forces and made this fan kit & online party event to celebrate it all while our proceeds for the fan kits that we sold would go to a great cause.
We were thinking of possible places to donate to when Ally saw FEED on Twitter and we decided it’d be the perfect place to donate to as AB6IX is an environmentally friendly group! They debuted in 2019 with a self-composed song called “Breathe” which the youngest, Daehwi, wrote in regards to the fine dust problem in Korea and wanting to break out from the chains of this environmental problem. Hence the line in the chorus “I wanna breathe just set me free”.
They also took part in an Earth Day campaign called “Kstars4climate” where K-POP idols talk about what they do to help the environment and urge their fans to do their part as well.
I believe their words and actions heavily influenced us in making this decision to donate to FEED and be a good example to other fans as well, reminding them that we can do our part in saving the environment in many ways.
I can only share photos of our event posters, the fan kit inclusions and images of AB6IX for reference since it was an online event and we didn’t take photos.
Thank you so much again and do update us on the OR so we can update our buyers regarding our donation soon!
Stay safe and take care!
Best,
Kate Cruz”
FEED is very inspired by youth leaders and other future leaders who focus their advocacies on the community. Tree-planting is not just about greening the environment or protecting our watersheds, food security, ecosystems and all living flora and fauna that are connected, it is also about the local communities, such as Bantay Gubat (Forest Protectors) and Bantay Dagat (Beach Protectors) who are out there every day protecting Earth’s natural assets for a living, for their livelihood and for their children and all of our common future. Which is why FEED’s Climate Change Action Programs are tagged as “Living Legacies” – for they live on long after we are gone.
Thank you Kate and Ally for helping us all protect our environment for everyone! May the Forest be with you always!

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. Join us! Help us reverse the Earth’s “hothouse climate” tipping point.
