The drying plants is a testimony of how destructive El Nino can be. We could then imagine its impact: more droughts characterized by dry and cracked farmlands, brown forests, a possible rice crisis, hunger, skin diseases, inflation etc. Quite saddening.

Pocket candy wrappers
The Philippine Daily Inquirer's update today says landslide deaths lift storm toll past 540. This is quite disheartening. Many of our brothers and sisters are losing their lives, lives that could be purposeful on our society.
Since the last week of September, we began our battle with natural disasters, or maybe they can qualify as 'man-made natural calamities' for these are also the offshoots of our actions. All of us, including myself were not mindful of our activities that we forgot to care about the environment. So global warming heightened.
Oh yes, we are in the Pacific Ring of Fire, and typhoons. We can't just do anything amidst this geographical fact. We are so prone to many kinds of devastation. I just wish that we learned our lesson somehow that it is high time for us to do our share to protect our habitat before it's too late.
Of course, some things are uncontrollable but there are some simple things that we can certainly do effortlessly like disciplining ourselves to throw thrash in their proper disposal area, not everywhere like what i observe in my everyday walk in the metro.
Yeah, it is annoying to see people in public vehicles throwing their trashes away as if they own the world and the world is a big trash place. I always get disappointed especially when the people i see doing this kind of thing are oldies or tanders as some call them. Good examples, duh..definitely not.
We have our pockets to store our petty trashes like candy wrappers. Can we start on this very simple thing?
