What it means to be eco-friendly? For me, doing things that can help save the environment for the benefit of the present and future generation. By making a better place to live in for the entire human race (popular line taken from the song heal the word of MJ).
What can I do in my own little ways?
- By supporting eco-friendly foods and products which are naturally organic in nature such as fruits and vegetables. Buying Products that has recycle label.
- By not littering anywhere.
- By planting plants and trees.
Can you add more? Any suggestion is highly appreciated.

Not only littering , we should also do our part by picking up rubbish and throwing it into the rubbish bin.

I agree we should all do our part. I object when a group tries to force their way on the rest of us. For example the deposit on containers. What happens is when you are traveling you pay extra and then if you don't know where to return the container you lose your deposit and still add to the garbage problem.

I'm aware that a lot of countries has the same problem regarding bottle/container deposits. When I was in British Columbia Canada, I learned that bottle/container can be refunded in any Bottle Depot so its not a problem when you travel from afar. I hope this kind of system can be implemented in the Philippines so that people would not just throw garbage anywhere because they can refund the deposit they paid for.

I think we can try lots of things eco friendly. We can try to use sunlight during day time than other lights and try to harvest water and also try to have fruits and vegetables grown in our terrace and also try to save water and electricity.

Hi Maria,
Your Topic is very important issuue at the time of Global Warming...
Off Course we always have to use organic and Bio degradable products. Instead of building Apartments, build a organic and nature home called 'Green House' where no cement, no tiles, no plastic used.
