Look around, even without researching the facts and statistics, you could already see with your own two eyes how much the world around us is changing. Though technology has helped make life a lot easier than it used to be, it has also made us lazy while also adding to the pollution and garbage here on earth. We enjoy the benefits of all these new technology too much that we forget our responsibilities to our planet. Remember, it’s okay to take, but we also need to give back. Don’t take our home for granted, it might not be around for long. If only we could reverse time and go back to the days we had a cleaner and greener planet, maybe we could take back the piece of paper we threw on the sidewalk or the beautiful tree we burned down…
“STEP BACK THEN MOVE FORWARD.”
This statement represents the World Wide Fund for Nature Philippines’ (WWF-Philippines) vision to confront the present state of the environment by studying the mistakes of the past then focusing on building a greener future and keeping the Earth a living planet.
Humanity is currently using 50% more resources than the Earth can provide. We are living as if we have two planets at our disposal. What better way to secure a more sustainable future than to invite tomorrow’s stewards – the youth – to join WWF-Philippines’ conservation efforts?
