         Go Green, Save our Planet

     Shovel, cap, face towel, extra shirt, sunblock, and gloves CHECK. ^_^ I'm READY!

     Karla, Ivy, JM and I met at Arroceros mini-forest park for a tree planting event. The part is just near SM Manila but wow I used to came across that area and I never knew there's a park there! The event is the project of Mayor Alfredo Lim in cooperation with Winner Foundation, Inc. and Green Peace Philippines.

     While planting trees I had the chance to do take some shots of the trees and flowers there. There's not much flowers there I just notice that there's a lot of trees well yeah! it's a mini forest park.

Here's the photo slides of the park and the Earth Day event ^_^

     Greenpeace is the leading independent campaigning organization that uses peaceful direct action and creative communication to expose global environmental problems and to promote solutions that are essential to a green and peaceful future.

Greenpeace is an independent global campaigning organisation that acts to change attitudes and behaviour, to protect and conserve the environment and to promote peace by:

• Catalysing an energy revolution to address the number one threat facing our planet: climate change.
• Defending our oceans by challenging wasteful and destructive fishing, and creating a global network of marine reserves.
• Protecting the world's ancient forests and the animals, plants and people that depend on them.
• Working for disarmament and peace by tackling the causes of conflict and calling for the elimination of all nuclear weapons.
• Creating a toxic free future with safer alternatives to hazardous chemicals in today's products and manufacturing.
• Campaigning for sustainable agriculture by rejecting genetically engineered organisms, protecting biodiversity and encouraging socially responsible farming.

To maintain its independence, Greenpeace does not accept donations from governments or corporations but relies on contributions from individual supporters and foundation grants.
