CEBU REGIS LEADERSHIP
Call to ARMS - My Advocacy
Leader Kerwin Mark L. Gubantes, MD

Ladies and Gentlemen, friends, friends of Mother Earth, good Morning! It is with great concern that I am before you today. As you could see around you and witness firsthand the destruction Mankind has brought upon our Home Planet. Greenhouse gases polluting the atmosphere and the air that we breath, increasing carbon dioxide levels from every source imaginable is elevating the temperature of our planet. This phenomenon leads to Melting of the Ice Shelves and consequently leads to rising sea levels and warming of the waters. Furthermore there are already signs of bleaching and destruction of the coral reefs documented in many parts of the planet such that there is already disruption of the Marine ecosystem and thus depletion of the food supply chain. The changing weather patterns, stronger typhoons and Hurricanes, longer droughts in many parts of the world as well as the rise of many deadly diseases can all be traced to the wanton destruction of Mother Earth. When is it going to stop? When do we start to realize what we have done? What are we going to do about it?

Maybe we could start by looking inwards first, our very lives, how we conduct our day to day activities. Are we conserving energy? How can we lessen our carbon footprint? Maybe instead of cutting trees, we should start Planting again. We could start using energy efficient devices to reduce our need for power. Let us shift our focus on Renewable sources of energy like Solar, Geothermal, Wind and Hydroelectric to generate power to supply our needs. These sources will significantly cut the need for fossil fuels like coal which is widely used today to generate electricity.
