Planet Earth today is threatened by climate change, with worsening natural disasters leading to loss of life and property, destroying biodiversity, and altering agricultural patterns.
To mitigate climate change, there is a need to lessen the emission of greenhouse gasses (GHG), example: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrate and sulphate. While countries reduce GHG through policy and other structural measures, every global citizen must contribute in reducing greenhouse gas through a low carbon lifestyle.
Filipinos can achieve a low-carbon lifestyle. This can be done by applying traditional as well as new innovative practices.
The Pinoy Low Carbon Lifestyle website highlights practices of the Filipino culture that are inherently eco-friendly and have low-carbon roots. In addition, innovative modern practices are introduced. Information on how to achieve low-carbon living is disseminated through the links, discussion forum, practical tips and recommendations.
