Storm Signals
Low Carbon Diet Journal
"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."
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.
Insights and Reflections about Tropical Cyclone
- Today, I learned that a tropical cyclone is a storm system characterized by a low-pressure center and numerous thunderstorms that produce strong winds and heavy rain. It is strengthen when water evaporated from the ocean is released as the saturated air rises, resulting in condensation of water vaporcontained in the moist air. They are fueled by a different heat mechanism than other cyclonic windstorms such as nor'easters, European windstorms, and polar lows. The characteristic that separates tropical cyclones from other cyclonic systems is that at any height in the atmosphere, the center of a tropical cyclone will be warmer than its surroundings; a phenomenon called "warm core" storm systems.
- I will apply my learnings about this phenomenon in a way that when a tropical cyclone hits our country, I know a little bit information about it and how can it affects us.
- 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.

Look deep into nature,
and then you will understand everything better.

For me, it's my relax week! :) I can recover to my restless days last week. This week, since we have no classes, I decided to help my mother in household chores. Sweeping the floor, wiping the furnitures, washing the dishes, making the bed, and watering the plants. And to save electricity, I often use the computer. And when watching TV, we watch together at night and not use the other television. This week, my hobby is to walk in our barrio. It's refreshing and also good to my health.

If one way be better than another,
that you may be sure is Nature's way.
~ Aristotle - Nichomachean Ethics ~
Yipee! \(^o^)/ Busy days and restless nights are gone. *Sigh* But did I help Mother Nature this week? Of course yes! I'll not let a day end without helping protecting our Mother Nature. I'm loving it. :D These are the things I've done this week:
- I did not use my cellular phone always since it's our exam week. And also to avoid it from charging more often.
- I'm using my paper wisely.
- I turn off the TV when I'm reviewing.
- I did my assignments outside our house. It will help saving the energy.
