my MDG choice.

the environment is the concern of every living creature.

many of us have remained indifferent and unaffected by the sordid state of our environment. we have chosen to go on with our lives undisturbed while a series of environmental-related tragedies unfold right before our very eyes. we must constantly remind ourselves that our existence as a civilization greatly depends on the environment that sustains us.

the seventh among the eight millenium development goals of the united nations is my MDG choice.

with the current state of our environment, there is a compelling need to heighten awareness among the people especially the youth of environmental issues confronting us, and thereby, motivate us to take action in protecting our environment and natural resources.

goal seven of the MDG is a guiding venue for us to promote a sense of responsibility and the realization of our critical roles in environmental protection.

i still believe there is hope in our midst - the society's coming together in the MDG is witness to this hope. we need to express our collective concern. when we all come together to work, a promising future awaits.
