Low Carbon Diet Journal -- September 3-9, 2012


"We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a commodity to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect."
Aldo Leopold

      This week, I am expecting a cold weather because Christmas is nearly coming. But it's still hot. It feels like summer. And with that, I prefer to spend my spare time outside our house. I can smell fresh air there. It also not consume energy. When I'm inside our house, I watch the TV, turn on the electric fan, use the computer and many more. Unlike when I'm outside, I just watched the children playing in the street. I also conserve electricity there by using the sunlight as my light source when I am writing,reading books and doing my school works. I also enjoy talking with my family outside, in our nipa hut. Because there, we're just watching TV and resting. But when we are inside our house, each of us has different things to do.

Storm Signals

Insights and Reflection about Storm Signals

  • Today, I learned that an area’s given signal number is based on the intensity, size of circulation and the forecast direction, and speed of the tropical storm or typhoon when the Public Storm Warning Signal is raised. Changes in intensity, size of circulation, or movement of the tropical cyclone also determines the change of the Public Storm Warning Signal in a given area.
  • I will apply my learnings about this phenomenon in a way that I'll be ready whenever that a storm signal is raised in our place, I know the effects and the precautionary measures about it.
  • Learnings about this phenomenon are important because it is a natural phenomenon that hits our country often.
  • On a larger scale, I will share my learning about this phenomena to help other people be more aware on different circumstances that happen in our environment.
  • I need to know more about how can we not be much affected when this phenomena is happening.

Low Carbon Diet Journal

August 27-September 2, 2012


"What we are doing to the forests of the world is but a mirror reflection of what we are doing to ourselves and to one another."
Mahatma Gandhi


            An earthquake with 7.9 magnititude just hit the country yesterday. But it did not lead to too much loss of lives and other properties. Good thing that we're ready always. That phenomena shows that the nature is already striking back because of our different activities that is bad for the environment.
           Helping the environment is not difficult. We can do it with our own little ways. This week, I help the environment by helping my mother clean our house, lessening the use of the computer, using paper wisely and help in cleaning our backyard.
