Today, April 22, is Earth Day. The focus of activities mirrors the different challenges we are facing right now. Millions of people around the world are rallying behind a Call for Climate, the global warming action theme. The planet is heating up and with the rising temperature comes the problems associated with global warming (food crisis, rice shortage, changing weather patterns, etc.). What started 38 years ago in San Francisco, USA, has now spread to all corners of the globe. In the Philippines, the theme is “Tubig Buhay Natin, Ating Pagyamanin.” Let us do our part in preserving the Integrity of Creation. Make every day, Earth Day.

Bartlett Giamatti, 1938-1989, President of Yale University: The Quotations Page).”
