Davao Earth Hour

Davao needs to do better in contributing to energy conservation. I am saddened by this report that not many joined the lights off campaign last March 29.

My family did. But we need more to help Mother Earth.

As convenor of the Davao Green EAGLES (Energy Alternatives for Green Living & Economic Sustainability), I have been advocating not just the development and use of renewable energy resources but the conservation of current energy resources too. Fossil fuel, the main energy source, must be used less and less due to its ill effects on global warming.

Let us join and support campaigns for the use of less light and power like those of the Earth Hour and car-less days, among others.
