I seldom going out but yesterday I went to recto to buy book for my daughter. I rode by jeep.It was heavy traffic. We even got stuck along Legarda st.So hot! Passengers looked drowsy and irritable because of the thick air pollution excreting by jeeps, buses and other industrial macheneries near by. This is the cause of global warming. How could we avoid global warming if it is already a part of our daily living ? People around the world who are aware of global warming but I think we could only count to our fingers who are really sacrificing and honest to practice to control global warming.

Use bicycle for short trips
Use stairs instead of elevators, escalators
use fishnets instead of dynamite
Switch unnecessary lights or electrical machines
DO NOT CUT TREES.

I planted around more than 500 mahogany tree but I'm expecting to commercialized after after 10 years when I retire.

I don't know if it's a good plan to plant mahogany trees. All I know is you're planting a tree and that surely must be a step towards easing the problem on global warming. In any case, I want to say good job and thanks for doing your bit for the environment. :)

And yeah, I do share your sentiments on how our highly-urbanized lifestyle has contributed to increasing pollution. I myself plan on using a bike in going around the city, in an effort to be more environmentally-friendly. But what scares me is the toll it might take on me, especially my health, knowing that I'd have to share the road with a million smoke-belchers!

In any case, I think people are beginning to be aware of environmental problems. The Filipino may be slow to catch up, but I believe we're getting there, so I'm not losing hope yet. :)
