i heard that there’s a group that takes in volunteer divers to go underwater and do cleaning / sampling. i’m not sure if this is true. are you aware of this?
jayvee,
not really sure if there’s such a group.
i must say while I appreciate the idea of carrying out small initiatives like this, i believe that what we really need now are bigger solutions. please read the following:
correct. what I do know is that that group is part of a bigger initiative. the name escapes me right now. it’s impossible to merely have people go down there and clean up the river. it’s also unhealthy.
jayvee,
yeah i can imagine how unhealthy that would be. imagine all the e coli in there and everything else.
Is it possible to bring back the “supot” (bag made of paper) rather than plastic bag?It will be a great help to minimize flooding.
last night i saw a news report about a store that sells fashionable bayongs. that should help encourage more people to go back to using those.
I just saw one of the projects made by some college students in a morning show called “umagang kayganda”. It’s a machine that filters out oil in water, collecting the oil and returning the water to its source. I think it can also float in water ( if not, then my idea is to turn it into some kind of boat machine). I think this have lots of potential. If we could just modify it to filter the pasig river water (or even purify It) and redesign its body to be more suitable floating in a river,add solar panels to it( so it wouldn’t need to run on gas, for obvious reasons), we might have the solution in our hands.But, then again, we would need a myriad of these filtering machines and a massive budget from the government, which i doubt they’ll give.
