Dingdong Dantes and Runner Rocky Reveal "15 Ways to LEDS" in Support to #NowPH's Act to Climate Change

What do yours truly Runner Rocky and the Kapuso hunk actor Dingdong Dantes have in common?! Well both of us were fitness enthusiasts and at the same time nature's advocate!

Since I'm promoting a healthy and fit lifestyle here in my very own blog, it is also appropriate to promote first a healthy environment. Yes because how can we have a healthy lifestyle if we are living in an unhealthy environment? How can we run smoothly if the air we breath is polluted or if the grounds we're running in were not anymore surrounded with trees and green plants? We love to run in a fresh green environment rather than running in a city full of smoke and crowded vehicles right?!

So for this moment, join me and Dong as the advocates of #NowPH in empowering people against Climate Change. 

But first of all, what is #NowPH? Now on Our Watch (Now) is actually a campaign that will empower young people to help raise public consciousness on the science of climate change and on ways to lead a climate-resilient and climate-smart lifestyle by promoting 15 Ways to Low Emission Development Strategies (LEDS) in schools and communities. The campaign is spearheaded by the Climate Change Commission and the National Youth Commission, supported by various partners such as USAID and French Embassie Manille. It aims to unite the voice of the Filipino youth to support climater action in time for the 21st Conference of Parties (COP) in Paris, France this December 2015.

We are playing the vital roles of saving our environment since the Philippines is ranked as the third most vulnerable nation to climate and disaster risks. Therefore via this #NowPH, we are creating an avenue for the youth to be at the forefront of this campaign by committing to fulfill at least one of the 15 Ways towards Low Emission Development Strategies (LEDS).

By participating in this campaign, the Filipino people have a greater chance to help slow down the destruction brought by the continuosly worsening of climate the world over.

Now what are these said 15 Ways to Low Emission Development Strategies (15 Ways to LEDS), a part of the #NowPH Campaign which we can do to combat global warming?! Well, check these out:

15 Ways to LEDS:

1. Grow a tree.

2. Switch off and unplug.

3. Goodbye plastic.

4. Segregate.

5. Reduce, reuse, and recycle.

6. No to burning of wastes.

7. Promote renewable energy.

8. Bring your own tumbler.

9. Use energy efficient appliances.

10. Walk, bike, or carpool.

11. Recycle electronics and batteries.

12. Familiarize yourself with environmental and energy laws.

13. Save water: use pail, dipper, and cups.

14. Think before you print.

15. Support earth-friendly products. 

Another fun way of supporting the campaign is to upload your selfies in the nowph.org website and be counted as one of the million voices that will urge nations to act on climate! Therefore what me and Dong did during the launch of the campaign in GMA-7 was to pose selfies. Check out our said selfies together below:
