  1. It depends I think if they can still survive in the wildlife since there are just animals that seems not fit anymore to come back to the wild. There could be so many predators in the wild including some other threats just like those hunters and collectors that will not care if that specie is already the last of its kind.
  2. I think it was almost impossible to totally shutdown all social media and all means of communication during such riots or any activities they would want to do it. Some people who have riot plans or even those terrorist could really use the internet to communicate but internet was also used by a lot of other people who would want to check their loved ones that might be living near places where riots are. And also to let others know what is real happening that could also give warnings for others to avoid going on such places for a moment.
  3. Seems Occupy Wall Street protesters are not active now as I am not hearing any news about them lately. I am not from the US, are they still active? And what had been the development so far from their previous movements?

    Green Bag

    We all do shop for things or for food. Plastics are the common kinds of bags used here in our country. Although there are some shops or establishments that uses paper bags and some recyclable materials, they are very few. I sometimes bring my "green" bag when shopping but I hope I could do that more often. A mall here is selling green bags and giving discount or points convertible to cash or merchandise when they shop using that green bag. I really think it was a good idea. I just like to know how many here in this forum are exerting effort to bring their own shopping bag to avoid the use of plastic bags.
  5. Air pollution would be the most notable environmental issue here in my community. It is caused by lots of motorcycles running near the area everyday. We could observe that instead of a fog which is a collection of water droplets, it is a fog which is a collection of smoke. An electric tricycle will be better since it releases less smoke or no smoke at all. But the conversion or production of it is more expensive. In your community, do you also experience the smoke fog in the morning and what is the main cause of that?
  6. Are you aware of this news regarding the largest crocodile captured alive? What is your initial reaction about knowing the news? It was all over the local news and online news during the first week of September when it was captured here in the Philippines. It is said that it could be the largest of its kind to be captured alive. It is a male crocodile and some villagers believe that there is still another creature as big or bigger than him that could be his wife (a female crocodile). For photos: Yahoo News
  7. Some household here in the Philippines are using "solar bulb" to be able to save electricity and have lower monthly bill. On some areas/household that do not have electricity yet, they also use this as their source of light on day time. Solar bulb is made from a plastic bottle (1.5L soft drink bottle) which is full of water added with some amount of bleach. This bottle is then place on the upper part of the room which some part of it is exposed to the sun so that the light from it will be collected and then scattered throughout the room. This is another simple yet useful innovative and environment friendly source of light on day time. Do you know any other alternative bulb existing nowadays?
  8. It was advisable that we should choose to consume organic foods as much as possible since these kind of foods could be more nutritious and safer to consume. And also it was more earth friendly since no fertilizers or any other chemicals are being used to it. Do you consume organic foods as much as possible? Or there are so many hindrances for you to be able to consume organic foods?
  9. Do you enjoy watching anime shows? And what are some of your favorites? I do enjoy watching anime shows specially when I was younger and still have a lot of time watching TV. And some of my favorite anime shows are Ranma 1/2, Samurai X, Dragon Ball Z, Tenchi Muyo, Naruto, Akazukin ChaCha and One Piece.
  10. Have you witnessed the lunar eclipse last night? I actually thought I would not be able to see it since the sky seems not to be clear earlier in the evening. But luckily it becomes clearer as the lunar eclipse starts until the total lunar eclipse had happened. It was really nice to be able to see such kind of natural phenomenon.
  11. What are your ways or habits to conserve water? Here are some ways I know and what I do at home to conserve some water. - Used water from taking a bath and washing clothes are use to clean the floor, flush the toilet and wash the rags. - Use glass when brushing teeth - Collect rainwater and use it on some cleaning activities and flushing the toilet - Use dipper instead of shower when taking a bath.
  12. It was nice to know you are really enjoying your new tablet and as I had been hearing from some friends that have tablets, they mainly use it for games. I do not have a tablet since I am still enjoying my net book and I prefer using keyboard than touchscreens. It is much easier for me to use.
  13. I agree that if a person become so sickly being vegetarian, I do not see reasons for them to continue such diet and suffer from health issues. I eat meat and vegetables. And I think to make it healthy and more earth friendly, better consume organic and fresh foods.
  14. Hello there Speedy and nice to have you here. I am also from the Philippines and it was very good to know that you are pro earth/green. It was always nice to know and see people who have same interests. Feel free to share your ideas and thoughts here. Have a nice day.
  15. What kind of shows you really enjoy watching? Personally I do enjoy watching reality shows such as singing contests, cooking shows and talent shows. I also enjoy watching news shows such as local evening news. Some of my favorite shows are X factor and Got Talent shows.
  16. I would like to be the solar panel installers. And could consider those other jobs for alternative source of energy rather than cleaning up the mess made up by people who seems not to put enough safety for destructive sources of energy.
  17. Definitely true that noise pollution could stress wild life as we humans are also stressed by it. It might not be on top of the problem list but it was sure a problem. And also since some animal creatures have more sensitive hearing, it could affect them more than us.
  18. That was nice alternative for common coffee. I am just aware of corn coffee since it was available here and I sometimes consume it. That grape coffee sounds good tasting and healthy as my impression of grapes is like that. T There are also now coffee that have additional vitamins and minerals on it.
  19. We should at least have some daily activities and some exercises in order to have good health. It would not be healthy to for someone to just sit whole day in front of the computer or just watching TV. Much have breaks, stand, walk and stretch. Some bad effects/health risk of stagnant lifestyle are: - indigestion that could result to severe constipation - weak body - gaining weight/obesity DO you have a stagnant lifestyle? Better start moving. ;)
  20. Yes it looks better with lights and some more decors. Here is another decors idea I had found online.
  21. Artificial trees are so common here in our country and now the trend is making Christmas trees and some decors out of recycled materials. And those kind of decors could be usually seen in different municipalities of cities of the Philippines. This is done for the environment and also to lessen the cost for the decors.
  22. Do you enjoy Christmas shopping and do you do it early or just few days before the holiday? I personally enjoy Christmas shopping and usually start shopping as early of 2nd week of November. This is too avoid too much congestion on shopping malls and market. And also to still have time to save money for some other things for the holiday like for the foods.
  23. I try to recycle as much as possible just like using plastic shopping bags as garbage bags. And also using containers as pots for some plants. We also segregate those rubbish that we can sell in junk shops like plastic bottles and tin cans. And buying things that can be use for several times or longer period of time than those disposable ones.
  24. A lot of us might just have little spare time to spend on things we really like aside from work, school and duties at home. What common things or activities you do when you have spare time aside from sleeping and eating? If ever I do have spare time, I watch TV and play with my pets. And sometimes I go out with some of my friends.
  25. That could be one of the most interesting discovery of this generation if they could prove it. And hope that such discovery could be useful maybe in the field of medicine or other kinds of technology.
