International Day for Climate Action
On the eve of the International Day for Climate Action, Greenpeace activists walked the streets of Tomas Morato wearing sandwich boards with photos of "Stupid" "Not Stupid" to give away leaflets of climate change information. These photos demonstrates what the "Stupid" acts like pollution, gas guzzlers, deforestation, chemical farming, and coal contributes to climate change and what "Not Stupid" solutions like renewable energy, forests protection, zero waste, sustainable agriculture, bike walk and run can help fight this problem.Today, the world celebrates this event as part of their call to action for their government leaders on the upcoming climate change meeting in Copenhagen this December 2009.

More photos here and here.
Ondoy in Cainta
My "coverage" of Typhoon Ondoy that ravaged our community here in Cainta can be found here, here and here.
Thanks to Iris and the others who texted to check up on me. My family and I are okay; we were able to secure most of our stuff in time and climb up to the second story of our house. Damages to our house and belongings are minimal. A lot of our neighbors weren't as fortunate.
Hope everyone else is alright.
