hilig kasi sa plastic bag mga consumers
sa checkout counter kahit 1 item lang (like 1 bottled water) kailangan pa may plastic bag... iinomin naman agad

i think it has more to do with our govt keeping up with the green movement in the West
our govt is being influenced by Western environmentalist groups like Greenpeace (and local environmentalists that get their ideas from Western environmentalist groups)
Western environmentalist groups are gaining influence in easy-to-influence developing countries (specially the Phils.)
pero wala sila influence sa China (which is a massive massive polluter of air, land, water. wala sinabi ang Pinas sa China when it comes to pollution pero environmentalists are pushing their agenda here... go figure)
tingnan niyo lang mga "green" ideas ng gobyerno. it's exactly what environmentalists pushed in the West. it's only a matter of time for those ideas to be applied here
re: paperbag idea... diba sa supermarket checkout counter sa States they'll ask you "choke a fish or kill a tree?" -- plastic or paper?
simply follow the green trends abroad sooner or later you'll find it here
so sad our politicians are already greenwashedLast edited by uls; March 11th, 2012 at 02:02 PM.

hey green activists, why don't you go to China? (ya that includes you Gina Lopez)
China is the world's top polluter
Home - Action For Our Planet
The countries listed in this top 10 have been found to emit the highest carbon dioxide emissions by the Energy Information Agency (Department of Energy) of the United States. In compiling their data, The Department of Energy estimated carbon emissions from all forms of industry and fossil fuel consumption. The biggest polluting countries are typically the states with the biggest industries, biggest production capabilities and the biggest populations.China wins the number one spot for the world’s most polluting country as it emits 6,018 million tonnes of greenhouse gases each year. This comes at little surprise as huge amounts of goods are manufactured in China, then exported all over the world. China also has the world's largest population of 1,324,655,000 so it consumes vast amounts of fossil fuels for transportation, cities, workplaces and food production.
kasi baka ikulong kayo
so nandito kayo sa Pinas (which is far from being a top polluter) kasi very friendly and receptive sa inyo ang gobyernoLast edited by uls; March 11th, 2012 at 01:39 PM.

i'd like to reiterate that the green movement is dangerous coz it's anti-business and anti-growth
ok lang sa mga mayaman na bansa coz they're fully grown (and actually on the decline) so it's time they clean up
but the Phils. is a growing country... far from full potential pero nandito mga greenies trying to stop growth
where were those greenies when the US was industrializing? oh yeah they didnt exist yet
the green movement grew coz they saw the byproducts of industrialization in their countries
tapos pumunta sila dito sa pre-industrialized world para i-spread ang gospel nila
if our govt gives in to the wishes of environmentalists the only industry that will be left in the Phils. is eco-tourism
ok that's an exaggeration but i know you guys get my pointLast edited by uls; March 11th, 2012 at 02:21 PM.

It's not only business that will be affected. It will also affect the way you eat and what you eat. The movement has already started with "organic foods" resulting in more expensive foods. Supposedly you get "safer" foods but in the end, it's the same food for more money.
Another down side with organic foods is it is LESS productive for the same amount of land used. So if following the law of supply & demand, everyone will be ending up paying more for less. And for people already cash strapped with the ever rising costs of food (and everything else), that is bad news.

Thankfully, I don't think any government is stupid enough to require people to "buy organic".
Let's not mine in dangerous, inaccessible locations with sparse vegetation, crappy vistas and no available air transport or commercial services... let's send tourists there instead!
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

CAN'T feed 7 billion+ people with organic farming
it's industrial food production that allows man to feed billions
you need machines. you need chemical fertilizers. you need biotech. you need methods&techniques to produce food on a massive scale to feed the world. organic farms yield just enough to feed a local community
you can't supply McDo's and KFC's worldwide demand for beef and chicken if you raise cows and chicken the traditional way
you need factory farms corn-feeding cows and chicken to fatten them up fast to meet demand
those people who are pro-organic food are the same people who want everyone to drive electric cars or use bicycles
they're the ones who also believe in new age stuff and do yoga and believe in an Earth-goddess called Gaia
if the world goes back to organic farming billions will starveLast edited by uls; March 11th, 2012 at 06:33 PM.

Key solution to this is recycle. You can even create jobs by that.
Eto na ngayon ang problema natin. Disiplina!
I agree Gina Lopez is dangerous.
Kwento ng katrabaho ko, meron daw sya officemate dati na Italiano na tinanong daw bakit...
Traffic!
