The tree-planting activity sponsored by the Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP) and the Kantipla Ecosystems Enhancement and Protection (KEEP) Foundation kicked off last June 27. They are encouraging volunteers to join the tree-planting caravan every Saturday until September 26 at Sitio Kantipla, Barangay Tabunan, Cebu City. It's for a good cause -- giving back to Mother Nature what she has given us.
The team (me together with my officemates) arrived at the site mid-morning today. At least 2 other companies I know of joined us. Then when mid-day came, thousands of different tree species were planted already.
Thanks to PBSP and KEEP for the opportunity!
On the way back home, we were convincingly tired, starving, and, at the same time, charged up. We stopped by every time there was something worthy of our camera flashes. The day culminated with nothing less than evermore green around, and we had found a comfortable place to say that, at least, we were on top of the world.
Good you have a photo of the seedling. Can't wait to go back there! :D
ReplyDelete@peenkfrik: Yeah, managed to have only two pix I guess. We still have our bolos, so we'll be back. :)

ReplyDeleteI would love to participate in such activities Joemill.
ReplyDeleteDati, meron ding ganyang project dito, kaya lang weekdays eh, hindi ako nakapunta. Pero sa bakuran namin, meron din kami tanim na puno at mga halaman :D
ReplyDeleteGreat! It's cool to plant tree once again. ;D And it's right to plant new trees, coz even though it's hard to admit but we are losing a lot of trees in our forest. This is a great idea. ;D

Such activity is really fulfilling. I have always wanted to plant trees on our backyard. I would want to grow trees to give us shade and to live in harmony with nature.
