Do you think the sea front (of blvrd) can be restored back to its prime state?

If the Marine Biology Department of the most influential school institution here in dgte will encourage their students to help clean up and let their students be aware of the importance of marine life. It will greatly benefit the coastal city of Dgte to be save. Someone needs to voice out and do something and for sure others will follow. How I wish the character of the local schools here are as good as UP/Ateneo/La Salle whom are not scared to complain/voice out and act into something.

 

Newbie, if your issue is to "encourage" i think, and i am sure of this, that Silliman doesn't come short of that. And Sillimanians, taught or not, are intellectual enough what marine life is about. We are responsible enough to care for our environment here, and voicing out? IT HAS NEVER BEEN A PROBLEM IN MY SCHOOL, MY CAMPUS, MY UNIVERSITY. We have a weekly newspaper that is totally uncensored and voices out what the concern of the student populace is. And our student government is very efficient of letting our voices be hear, whether the issue has something to do with this thread or not. If you compare Silliman to other schools, then that's your own point of view. But if you ask me about the comparison, about YOUR comparison? it's like this >>> O-o

Your post denotes that Silliman isn't doing something, to tell you, if you haven't felt that, it doesn't necessarily mean WE are not doing something. You are not the basis btw. And oh, I didn't feel your UP/Ateneo/La Salle doing something too, so taking your stance, then it would be safe for me to say that the same case goes with those schools.

shalom

 

So what your saying is the the school of Marine Biology actively encourages and participates in regular coastal cleanups?

 

I think what Jopliniac is saying is they do the same as every government official and "Silliman Educated Intellectual" does.. all talk and only talk.. nothing else..

 

OIC said the blind man.

 

Keeping the environment clean is everyone's job. If everyone puts trash away properly like what my kids are trained to do, "regular coastal cleanups" won't be necessary. This is the root of the problem...the poor environmental attitude of people. It saddens me to see kids and also adults nonchalantly throw litter around. As if they are thinking that someone else will pick up for them. There are anti-littering laws but are not enforced.

 

Can the sea front of Dumaguete's Blvd be restored to a prime state? Of course, if the city will overhaul its sewage system. For now, RAW SEWAGE flows directly into the area. I wonder if the city folks that run, jog, or just hang around the boulevard are aware of the microdroplets of sewage wafting from the sewage outlets.

 

I agree to disagree,

while all this points may help the environment, the Boulevard is next to a pier and I have yet to see a place in a third world country (and most in Europe) where the areas next to a pier is clean and has any kind of great diversity.

Having that fixed in Dumaguete!!! is an illusion and each effort will lead to a total waste of financial resources, well what means waste... some people will have new cars and houses...
