9th Tour of the FireFlies (last Sunday)
April 18, 2007This is my first post here at i.ph for friends who wanted to see some pix from the recently concluded (9th) TOUR of the FIREFLIES. http://www.fireflybrigade.org/
As mentioned in the linked video, its really a matter of choice that we make our environment last for the next generation's, generation. We must, as individuals, do our part in generating less carbon emissions and as much as possible, promote a cleaner and greener lifestyle.
Couldn't find a clear 2007 Tour of the Fireflies video.
But found this one. I think it was 3 years ago and illustrates why and how the tour was conceptualized.
Most of us do it for the exercise and camaraderie.
Boy Siojo takes it a level higher, by commuting to work.

I've learn't to respect cyclists on the road more, and envy those that do this as a choice. I just hope we can get more people to bike or at least, use their cars less often.
The once a week car-coding ban in Metro Manila helps, but not so much for being pro-environment but more for easing traffic congestion in the metropolis.
I guess every little bit helps. As Al Gore would say.
Oh and as part of the Earth Day celebrations this Sunday, SM is going to show his " An inconvenient truth " documentary, FREE of charge in select movie theaters. Well at least Henry Sy is starting on the right foot.
