Some Ways of Saving our Planet

Oranians

Take Action at Home

The best place to start and make a difference is right in your own home. You can reduce the amount of materials you use and waste you produce, reuse products in new ways, recycle goods, and choose items and alternative methods to use less toxic chemicals.

Save energy

Use the ENERGY STAR program (energystar.gov) to find energy efficient products for your home. The right choices can save families about 30% ($700 a year) while reducing our emissions of greenhouse gases. Whether you are looking to replace old appliances, remodel, or buy a new house, ENERGY STAR can help. ENERGY STAR is the government backed symbol for energy efficiency. The ENERGY STAR label makes it easy to know which products to buy without sacrificing features, style or comfort that today's consumers expect.
Turn off appliances and lights when you leave the room.
Use the microwave to cook small meals. (It uses less power than an oven.)
Purchase "Green Power" for your home's electricity. (Contact your power supplier to see where and if it is available.)
Have leaky air conditioning and refrigeration systems repaired.
Use a programmable thermostat to save on heating and cooling costs when you're not home.
Insulate your home, water heater and pipes.
Keep in mind that every trip adds to air pollution. Learn more at It All Adds Up to Cleaner Air(http://www.italladdsup.gov).
Replace incandescent light bulbs with ENERGY STAR qualified Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs (CFL). If every household in the U.S. replaced one light bulb with a CFL, it would prevent enough pollution to equal removing one million cars from the road. (energystar.gov/cfls)

US starts release of $9,000 checks to veterans

US starts release of $9,000 checks to veterans
MT. SAMAT, Bataan—The United States has awarded a $9,000 lump sum compensation to the first batch of Filipino World War II veterans who qualified for benefits under the $787-billion stimulus package passed by the US Congress in February.
US Ambassador Kristie Kenney awarded the certificates of recognition to retired Col. Rafael Estrada and retired Brig. Gen. Felix Pestana during the 67th commemoration of the Araw ng Kagitingan yesterday at the Mt. Samat Shrine.
Defense Undersecretary for Veterans Affairs Ernesto Carolina said doctors did not allow the third awardee, 87-year-old Salvador Prinsesa, to travel from Legazpi City because he was suffering from mild pneumonia.
Prinsesa, president of the Philippine Veterans Legion, was a former intelligence officer of the guerrillas based in Bicol.
Estrada, chairman emeritus of the Armed Forces Defenders of Bataan and Corregidor Inc., and Pestana, a retired Air Force official, are both survivors of the Death March. Kenney said at least 26,000 Filipino World War II veterans had applied for the lump-sum benefits as of Friday last week.
“We are processing those applications. More notices of whether their application was approved or whether we need more information will be going out this week,” Kenney said.
