Sustainable Ways to Envelop a Building

Do you want to know how to cover, surround, protect, and envelop your home or any type of building, in ways that are sustainable? By sustainable, I mean not only earth-friendly, but can be financially sustained by you in the long term.   I do.

EndDanger: Eco Art and Music Fest

Eco Art & Music Fest Fundraiser Opens January 19 at Conspiracy Garden Café

Manila (December, 2012) – An art exhibit and music fest fundraiser for Save Philippine Seas’ Pawikan
Watchers program opens on January 19, 2013 at the Conspiracy Garden Café, Quezon City.

EndDanger, which features mixed media artworks from the group Artists for Nature and performances
from Flying Ipis, Extrapolation, and other music bands, calls attention to the growing problem of animal 
endangerment in the Philippines and encourages the community to get involved in conservation and
protection efforts.

Although gifted with a rich and biologically diverse ecosystem, from lush forests to a vibrant marine life, 
our country’s natural resources have significantly dwindled over time. Animal species, in particular, are 
under increasing threat from habitat destruction, pollution and commercial exploitation. Many are now 
in the verge of extinction.

Tour of the Fireflies 2012

It was almost always in summer that we find these swarm of bikers taking over the streets of Metro Manila. This year it will be on a usually rainy November that they will take the streets, but one thing remains the same, regardless of season, rain or shine --- it is their mission to harken back the fireflies.

What is that again? Read an old post, Learn to Fly with the Fireflies.

Bicycle as Environmentally Sustainable Transportation (BEST) is this year's event title. It rings true, right? Join us and help us promote it.

Greening Asia

GREENING ASIA;
Emerging Principles for Sustainable Architecture

By : Nirmal Kishnani

In the past decade Asia's building sector has slowly come around to the idea of the Green building. The movement has picked up pace since 2005 with the introduction of, at last count, 13 national Green building assessment tools. Despite a steep rise in the number of certified buildings, the approach to Greening is fragmented and cautious at best.
