#EarthForKids: 3 ways to share your Earth Day ideas
On Earth Day, April 22, Rappler's MovePH and social media teams invite netizens to help raise public awareness on how to save the planet and promote a sustainable future

MANILA, Philippines – Good conservation efforts but bad air quality – this is the  state of the Philippine environment, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) said a day before the Earth Day.

DENR also emphasized the growing impact of climate change on the Philippine environment and communities, citing the example of recent strong typhoons.

To observe Earth Day on Wednesday, April 22, Rappler’s MovePH and social media teams invite netizens to help raise the awareness of the public on how to save the planet and promote a sustainable future. 

You can participate in 3 ways:

I. GET THE KIDS INVOLVED 
 
We ask parents to encourage their kids to join the “Earth for Kids” campaign.

Ask your kids, “How should you take care of Mother Nature?”

Upload their tips to social media sites as a video or drawing:
1. Take a short video and upload to Instagram or Twitter or VINE. 
2. You can also ask them to draw, take a photo of their work, and upload it to Instagram or Twitter.

Use the hashtag #EarthForKids on Instagram, VINE, and Twitter.  

II. LET’S DISCUSS

You can also share your own tips by joining the whole-day #EarthForKids Twitter Conversation, hosted by @moveph, on how to protect the environment for future generations. 

III. SMOKE BELCHER WATCH

In 2014, Metro Manila reported air pollution levels of 136 micrograms per normal cubic meter (ug/Ncm) of Total Suspended Particulates (TSP) in June 2014, still way above the World Health Organization standard of 90 ug/Ncm 

The worsening air quality may be due to increased number of vehicles in Metro Manila, intensified traffic jams, and lax monitoring of smoke-belchers.

Help reduce air pollution. Tweet photos and plate numbers of vehicles you’ve caught smoke belching. Use #smokebelcher. – Rappler.com
