I avoid soft drinks so I always bring my own water jug.  I have been preserving my students chairs in my classroom to save money for the government and avoid cutting more trees to make new chairs.  Years before I started studying Climate Change in 2010, I had never realized that I had eco-friendly practices already.  On that same year, one of the Miss Earth Philippines winners said that she has not been using straws.  That caused me to study all things about straws and why they should be avoided.  I tried to practice avoiding straws that year.  It did not happen right away but gradually.  As I tried to inculcate the value, I started to feel the spirit of fulfillment.  So I continued to read more about eco-friendly articles.  It all began with not using straws.  Now, I have more eco-friendly practices I can log here which could inspire or ignite the thriving spirit within each individual to reduce the devastating effects of Climate Change.
