Rational occupants of the planet Earth are rallying to save and conserve the resources that God has placed in their hands if they still so desire to enjoy what is has to offer in this generation and the next.
This is plain and basic faithfulness to the concept of stewardship which had gone berserk with irrational abuses that man has subjected the environment and now are reaping the expected results of their blatant disregard for their discordant behavior.
The world, fortunately is heeding the wake up call that if man doesn’t do his share in conserving and protecting, or being good stewards of the natural resources that surround him, he himself will be among the first victims of this utter disregard. Already, in many parts of the world, governments are joining the advocacy to arrest the damage resulting from many years of neglect.
In Orange, conservationists and green advocates will bring to focus their shares in stewarding resources to help arrest the harmful effect of years of utter disrespect for nature.
The Filipino American Chamber of Commerce of Orange County joins this year’s effort, its eight consecutive years of faithful advocacy, in raising public consciousness on this burning concern and elicit wider support in saving the planet from destruction.
