Poem: Dark Peace

As I lay down in bed
thinking of nothing but just rest
And that my dream will lead
to something nice and best...

On the sidewalk still pass
boys and girls with lass
on their side
as they sell to people behind

Robbers, Addicts, Killers
All sorts of crime are done
in every
corner of the land

Poor father seeks
for something to eat
as mother awaits
comfort child in beat

So many of these happen
each day every night
but not to me
who is fast asleep... [072019921740]

Life is like a wheel

BY DENG, 6th Grade (08011996 0900)
See how this kid is telling people how to seize the day.  Carpe diem! 

Life is like a wheel
   that goes round and round
   sometimes you are on top
   sometimes you are down.


Life is not a dream
   that you can think only
   but life if you dream
   you must do it.

Be ready because life is short
   like a journey
   that if you go slow
   you wont make it...

Organic Greens

It's ironic how we are producing more food now than a hundred years ago, but we are a lot less healthy.  Between 1960 and 2000 alone, in the US, the incidences of obesity rose from just over 10% to nearly 30% of the population.  In 1990, for most American states only 4-6% of the population had diabetes, compared to 6-8% in 2001 (with some states registering more than 10%).  Add to this the fact that there are many diseases today that did not exist in the early part of the 20th century.

The truth is, advances in food production technology have sacrificed quality for quantity; farmlands today yield much more at each harvest, but each crop is less nutritious than its counterpart of 100 years ago.  It is estimated that today's food contains up to 50% less vitamins and minerals than those in the 1960s.  A study published in August Celebration found that in 1948, 100 grams of spinach contained 158 milligrams of iron.  The same quantity of spinach contains less than 2.2 milligrams of iron today, meaning you'd have to eat 75 rations of spinach just to get the same nutrition.  Similarly, to get the nutritional benefit on one apple 60 years ago, you'll have to consume as many as 16 apples produced in today's plantations.

RA 9003 Ecological Solid Waste Management Act

Extracted: Mainstreaming ESWM in the Philippine Educational System

The Republic Act No 9003 (RA 9003) or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 stipulates that it is the policy of the state to adopt a program that will ensure the protection of the public health and the environment, as well as the use of environmentally sound methods that maximize the utilization of valuable resources and encourage resource conservation and recovery.

However, not all action should be left to the government.
