Cebu Runs for Plastic

On November 14, 2010 at the Ayala Terraces in Cebu City, another marathon that is dub as Eco Dash: The Bottle School Run  will take place. The event is another proof that Running took not just Cebu City by storm but the whole country as well.

The event is organized to build a school made from plastic bottles in Sta. Fe, Bantayan in the early part of next year 2011. The whole Bottle Project is headed by Illac Diaz. Runners and enthusiast are required to donate two 1.5 bottles or 2-liter plastic bottles plus a joininh fee to participate in the marathon.

This truly presents another way of saving the environment and some support is really needed! Its nice to know there are activities and some private groups  that are willing to take part and change the way we trea our environment!!!

More than anything else I think our blogs will be all the more become interesting if we bring in more comments from other bloggers and fortunately I have learned about bloogoola its worth the visit!

Former San Francisco Mayor and current Vice-Mayor Alfredo Arquillano Jr.launched its 'Two Million Trees in Five Years' in support with the observance of International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction. The program is an outcome of the Southeast Asia Regional Consultation Workshop on Strengthening Climate Resilience which he participated in Bankok Thailand.

This is a very interesting project because for me taking care of the environment should now be a top priority to every people. Projects like this can be implemented well with the support of both Local and National leaders. As a Cebuano and as someone who hails from the island of Camotes, I think this is adds pride to the rest of us and more than anything else I think this requires our support.

Speaking of becoming environmental, I will now become an advocate of refraining from the use of Plastic Bags and encourage the use of Environmental Friendly Bags or also known as Green Bags. In our own little way we can surely make not just our own home city a better place but the entire world as well!!!
