Fighting against the global warming in Bantayan / Luchando contra el calentamiento global en Bantayan

Several months ago I posted about the fight against the global warming filipinos are doing in Manila. There is an avenue close to Intramuros where they plant trees with that purpose.
After months I was going around Bantayan Island and I saw a national road full of these advertisments with all these trees that were planted for the same purpose. Here you have pictures taken there. It would be good if we copy it in western countries.

Hace algunos meses hice una entrada sobre la lucha contra el calentamiento global que hacen en Manila. Hay una avenia cerca del barrio de Intramuros dónde han plantado numerosos árboles con ese propósito.


Después de algunos meses estaba viajando alrededor de la isla de Bantayan cuando vi una carretera nacional llena de estos carteles con todos estos árboles plantados con el mismo propósito. Aquí tenéis unas fotografías del lugar. Sería muy bueno si copiáramos esta costumbre en los países de occidente.

Recycling cans at Green Belt, Manila / Cubos de reciclaje en Green Belt Manila

When I was in Manila, I went to a famous shopping center at Makati. This place has a lot of western restaurants and shops where Filipinos and foreigners can buy and go for dinning. I was so glad when I found reclying cans around the whole center. Of course I took a picture to show you that The Philippines are really worried about environmental issues.

Cuando estuve en Manila, visité un famoso centro comercial en Makati. Es un lugar donde tanto filipinos como extranjeros pueden encontrar todo tipo de restaurantes y tiendas occidentales. Me alegré mucho cuando encontré los cubos de reciclaje por todo el centro y obviamente saqué una fotografía para compartirla con vosotros. Valga de muestra de que los filipinos están realmente preocupados por el medio ambiente.

Manila, sunset and rubbish

First of all wishing all of you a good week! Monday is the best day of the week, because everything starts again!

Here I go with Monday post. I was at Manila few weeks ago and I went to see the beautiful sunset on the bund. Here you have a beautiful picture I took there while the sun was being extinguish by the power of the ocean. This is awesome...


But when sun has gone, we have another reality over there. We can find a lot of rubbish just there, were the sea    and the land share a piece of space. Obviously, this rubbish has been delivered by ocean. Maybe you think I am very focus on rubbish from the oceans, but the true is that everywhere I go, I find thousands of kilos of it. And it makes me wonder if I am alone in this fight... I will never give it up, and I will share thousands of times more if I keep finding it.

It is horrible when you see that the beauty of the nature is being damaged for the human being.
The consequences of this are really serious. Animals and plants are dieing because of our wrong habits. Think about that when you use and throw out your rubbish.

The Philippines: Manila, planting trees

As I was explaining you in a previous post, The Philippines is taking a lot of care about environmental issues. The intention is good, but sometimes the country is not prepared and you can still seeing not very good things.
Anyway, I will give you some examples of both things.
We can start with a very good thing. Very close to Intramuros(old downtown) there is an avenue where Filipinos can ask for plant their own tree to fight against the global warming. Here you have some pictures of the avenue and one of the trees. Definitely, every city in the world should copy this great idea from our friends.
