Yes, it was not yet popular to my friends and that is one reason why I am not active on Google+ even i have an account on it. My connection to my friends is my reason why I have social networking sites like Facebook. It helps me to stay connected with them and know their recent statuses.

I had read of it already and it was really nice to know that there could be life there. A flowing water could be a sign that there are living species there. So sad to know that the US government focused more on wars rather than exploration funds and researches. Hope there could be some private billionaires to fund those science projects.

I could agree that they could act for their freedom and they could fight back against torture and maltreatment.They have the ability to think somehow like how to hunt for food and recognize the people who take care of them. Living things will really want to be free and cared correctly.

If zoos main motive is not to earn money for the owners, it was good. There are really some zoos that uses their funds to save endangered species and fund animal programs like awareness programs. Animals should not suffer being in a zoo and so they should be provided a shelter almost close to their natural habitat and have enough care and food.

Hi there and welcome to the forum. It was always nice to see new members here. You could share your own thoughts and ideas here regarding the environment and some other issues. Hope to see more of your posts around.

I had watched the official trailer for the Rise of Planet of the Apes and it was really thrilling. I would also like to watch it in the cinemas since it is already showing here. I think that the movie is so interesting and entertaining because of the effects and the story.

I also walk if it was just short distance or I can manage to walk the distance. It was also a way for me to exercise since I am not having enough workout this past days. I also try to use the bike to go near in the lake or to the market place.

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. 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.

Personally I could observe that weather now changes too fast and I think it is caused by global warming. There are so many instances that it was so hot and then it will rain so hard. The summer temperature also becomes too high that it causes droughts. There are also now some small hurricanes in the city destroying properties and lives. Some other effects of global warming that I had read are spread of diseases, more hurricanes, heat waves, ice caps melting, more floods and wild fires.

I have not tasted it too but it sounds healthy because of the tofu. I will like to try this burger if i will find one here in our place. I like barbecue and tofu, so what a combination. ;)

Hi Kris and welcome to the forum. You could really read interesting topics and ideas here and you could share your own thoughts. Hope to see more of your posts around.

Yes right, i am loving it but would not wish for daily rains since some places here are flooding. Do not want to be selfish though. Lol. Yes, this thread help me feel a bit relieved. It is good to know you are so happy today...

True cost of gasoline could mean poverty for many and pot of gold for some oil players out there (specially for oil owners/company). And as others said, it is the cause of conflicts, rallies and greediness. ;)

Hi there Cecille and welcome here in this forum. Environment and all other topis with regards with it are really very interesting to be discussed. Hope to see more of your posts around. ;)

There are some local earth songs i know but i would not include it here since you would not know it. Some songs i know are: Vanessa Williams - Colors of the Wind Black Eyed Peas - Where is the love

I am doing almost all those things in your list aside from planting a tree. We do not have enough space here to plant tress and i am not actively joining a tree planting projects since it is usually done in the province/forest areas. We used to have trees before when i was young but it is now converted into a commercial area. Although we could still manage to plant some small plants around the house.

It was a very nice suggestion. There are some plants that can grow inside the house or just in the balcony just like ferns and palmera plant. You could also try some plants that could live in the water.

Yes right, some just think what happening is a cycle that the earth had experienced or the earth should experienced. But the thing is,for sure, before they are no such pollutions on earth that had causes the ozone layer hole/holes and the heat of the sun is not trapped in the earth that makes the temperature increases. Definitely, we are causing things to happen this time and it is not just nature.

There is a non expensive vegetable dish that i know. So easy to cook dish. Ingredients are: mongo sprouts, tofu (square slices), 3 gloves of onion, half glove of garlic and cooking oil. Steps: saute garlic and onion then add the mongo sprouts. Add one cup of water and let it boil. Add the sliced tofu and let it boil again for minutes. And that's eat! You could add seasonings depends on your preferred taste.

Good for you that you had such appetite for veggies. it is impossible for me to be a vegetarian since some of my favorite dishes involved meat in it. But as much as possible i avoid consumption of red meat and processed meat. And like adding more vegetables in my meals.

Hi, yes i had talked to them face to face, one on one what ever kind of talk they like it to be. The rain this past few days had helped me washed them away somehow. ;)

I am not strict in my diet but as much as possible, i include vegetables and fruit juices in my daily food intake. I seldom have time for workouts because of busy schedule but i am trying my best to do simple exercises and stretching at home.

Do you still manage to have some plants even you get too busy or there are no enough space in your yard? We used to have space for some vegetable plants before but it was later transformed to become part of the house. We now have some small plants like fortune plant placed in a plastic container.

I love eating and i am quite lucky that i do not get fat that easily. And so i was enjoying every meal and desserts that i could have. But of course, as much as possible, i like to have a well balanced diet and eat healthier foods. Some of my favorite foods are chocolates, ice creams and Filipino dishes. How about you? What are your favorite foods?

I had made this thread to share what i am feeling at this very moment. I have so insensitive neighbors that are certified alcoholics who are almost if not daily are having drinking sessions just near my place. They sing along so loud and they do not care if they are the nosiest people around even it is already midnight or morning hours. I need patience! Lol So, how are you today?
