We are in tough times in the battle for climate change. I am personally compeled to take personal share in the efforts to contribute significantly in the global delima on climate change. In fact, we launched the donate and plant a tree last 18 January 2009 in Catanduanes. It is a strategy of inviting friends, members of civic organizations, coleagues and enthusiasts of joining a weekend tree planting where, for every tree you plant you donate cash. The cash will then be turned over to a barangay council or an organization with the agreement that with the money they will produce more tree seedlings for the future tree planting . . . with more FRIENDS!
Much is my personal desire to contribute in efforts like this. I wish to get in touch with organizations like yours that is doing activities with parallel interests. Strongly, I would like to lead my coleagues in undertakings that we want done. I hope that we be able to communicate frequently to compare notes and improve our operations.
