I THINK the government can and must do more to educate people on proper waste disposal and recycling.
Some places in the Philippines are observed to be a giant trash pit and because of individual habit and the “don’t care” attitude, more money is being used when calamities such as floods come. Furthermore, it’s a huge health issue which concerns everyone and costs the government millions.
Educate! Educate! Educate! Educate the masses. Provide social (barangay) seminars in all levels of society.

i think that we can still “possibly” revive the dead rivers that we have here in Phil esp. pasig river. we just need a tremendous discipline and care. garbage are meant for trash can. and you know what im thinking ryt now, the president should do something about the people residing on the side of the river. the number one source of waste or trash are coming from the people who lived there. i absolutely agree,, educate!! educate!!! educate!!! do some seminars and dazzle the people about the beauty that could posibly the river can give for us!!!

You can continue your crusade until 2010 up to the minutes that you will vote whose going to drain our country again!
Let go of that feeling and focus on things that will immediately have an effect to the majority like lowering mine, yours, your relatives, the peoples’ bill on ELECTRICITY AND OIL.

Not only dead in term of Environment and healt. Dead for agriculture, too.
I don’t want to appear a Kontrabida but “Rice self suffeciency by 2010”, appears to be grandiose projection if not wishful thinking. State can only try. I think the projection is divorced of realism. Even if State pours all available resources towards that goal, the earliest that rice self sufficiency can be attained in this country is probably decades away.
Miracle rice was developed by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) in Los Baños, Laguna in the time of President Ferdinand. E. Marcos. It’s been all IR-Series Miracles since then. The Thais learned about rice in Laguna, Philippines. Maybe we have not seen the mother of all Miracles by IRRI yet.
Meanwhile, with our rain forests gone we are experiencing water shortages. What good are levees that are dry? In most part of the country, mechanized irrigation has to be employed by the time of the second cropping. We have that situation in most part of Negros Island. And I saw the same situation in Palawan as early as the mid 1990s. With rain forests gone and many rivers and or tributaries dry in summer, third cropping has become impossible in those places. In places where there is no asurance of a successful second cropping, farmers are prompted to plant corn or others after the first crop. The situations could be nationwide.
