SUSTAINABLE LIVING- Sustainable Food 
Do you know that the food we enjoy eating like grilled steak and fried chicken have hidden costs to the environment?
It begins with clearing natural habitats to make way for agriculture.
Soil is fertilized with chemicals to maximize crop yield.
Livestock feeding produces methane and animal waste.

Food production and distribution use fossil fuel.
1.3 billion tons of food produced globally is wasted every year.
3.3 billion tons of carbon dioxide are produced by food waste.
The world’s population will increase to 10 billion by 2050.
Food demand will increase by 60-70%.
 
This calls for sustainable food production like reducing the use of fossil fuel;
Eat more plant-based food than meat.
Adopt zero waste by reusing containers;
and reducing food waste
Let’s practice sustainable living to save the environment.

Views about this Year's Global Media Competition 2022 #GMC2022 #BurnedByTobacco #stopmotionanimation #animation

 Hi this is Dudz Clotario, just sharing my views about this year's Global Media Competition.

When I learned about the competition maybe just 3 days before deadline, I immediately wanted to enter. I am a non-smoker and I know tobacco industry's environment harms so I wanted to show it through my video. I asked my friend ma’am Pinky to make the script and Nehesh to do voice over. It was a seamless workflow that even we have different timezones, we still managed to finish it fast and upload just an hour before the deadline.

This competition is useful to share my talent using papercraft stopmotion animation. And It was a way to showcase my paper craft style of animation. It is hard to do, but its worth it.

When the winners where announced, I was so happy. I thanked all the people who supported, shared and voted for my entry. It’s good to learn the many people like my paper stopmotion.

Everyone should participate in this competition because it creates awareness about the hidden harm of the tobacco industry.


Long time ago when I was in grade 1, my very first art competition win was titled Be an Earth Saver, it was for a poster making competition. Fast Forward until now, I am still doing it, trying my best to save our environment by sharing information and making videos about it. The Tobacco industry is a big culprit causing massive harm to nature. 

Love the earth and be an earth saver. It’s the only home we have.

What is an oryx?

There are four species of oryx living in Africa and the Middle East. They are large antelopes with long, spear-like horns — with the Gemsbok (Oryx gazella) being the largest of the oryx species. They are a true desert animal, with a thick, horse-like neck; a short mane; and a compact, muscular body. A defined pattern of black markings that contrast with their white face and fawn-colored body are prominently displayed during dominance rituals to emphasize the length of their horns and the strength of their shoulders.

Scientific name

Oryx gazella

Weight

180 to 240 kilograms (395 to 530 pounds)

Size

115 to 125 centimeters at the shoulder (45 to 50 inches)

Life span

Up to 20 years in the wild; about 22 years in captivity

Habitat

Dry plains

Diet

Herbivorous

Gestation

8.5 months

Predators

Lions, hyenas, African wild dogs

Live in herds of up to

600

animals

Population of

373,000

the Gemsbok species

Private land holds

45%

of the population

Challenges

Oryxes are hunted by humans.

Local communities hunt these large antelopes for their meat and hides, and in many cultures, their horns are sought after as charms.

They are losing habitats to humans.

During the 19th and 20th centuries, Gemsbok populations rapidly decline due to human expansion in South Africa. This species’ habitat is decreasing as human populations grow and expand, resulting in growth of agriculture, settlements, and roads.

Solutions

Our solutions to protecting the oryx:

Set aside space for wildlife.

African Wildlife Foundation works with governments and villages to designate wildlife corridors — large swaths of land that oryxes use to roam freely and safely from one park, or country, to another. Corridors link protected areas and allow wildlife to follow rains or travel to their calving grounds.

Develop conservation tourism.

AWF brings together communities and private investors to construct conservation tourism lodges like The Sanctuary at Ole Lentille in Kenya. The lodge provides sustainable income for the community, and the 20,000-acre conservancy is a safe home to a variety of wildlife. 

Behaviors

Males are pitted against each other in strength tests.

The dominance hierarchy among oryxes is based on age and size. As they grow, calves assess one another in tests of strength that look like games. As the hierarchy becomes established, the need to fight is reduced. Ritual displays replace actual contact, except when evenly matched individuals may have to fight to establish their rank. Along with lateral displays, these large antelopes perform a slow, prancing walk and sometimes break into a gallop. When several males are making these displays, they may clash horns. The nonterritorial males live in mixed groups with females, or with females and their young. Males that dominate are territorial to a degree, marking their areas with dung deposits.

Females like to calve in private.

A female leaves the herd to give birth and hides the calf for its first two or three weeks of life, visiting a few times a day to nurse it. The newborn is an inconspicuous brown color. The black markings begin to appear when the calf is ready to return to the herd with its mother. Calves are suckled for six to nine months and reach maturity at 18 to 24 months. Most young males migrate out of their natal group to join other groups.

Diet

The oryx eats smart.

They typically feed in early morning and late afternoon, feasting mainly on coarse grasses and thorny shrubs. In desert areas, they consume thick-leaved plants, wild melons, and roots and tubers they dig out of the ground. Plants collect dew, which is gradually released during the hotter parts of the day. Some plants increase their water content by 25 to 40 percent, so when oryxes feed late at night or early in the morning, they maximize both food and water sources.

On This Day - July 20, 1826 - Margarita Roxas de Ayala, one of the Philippines' greatest businesswomen, was born in San Miguel, Manila

 

Today in Philippine History, July 20, 1826, Margarita Roxas de Ayala was born in San Miguel, Manila

On July 20, 1826, Margarita Roxas de Ayala, one of the Philippines' greatest businesswomen, and founder of La Concordia College, was born in San Miguel, Manila.

(Margarita Roxas de Ayala)

She was the eldest child of Domingo Roxas founder of Casa Roxas, and Maria Saturnina Ubaldo, a Spaniard. During her early life she suffered great indignity and injustice when her father was incarcerated three times. The Spanish colonial authorities suspected that her father was a sympathizer of the Filipino cause.

Don Domingo one of the earliest industrialists of the Philippines, was an advocate for liberal reforms. He died in prison in 1843.

Assuming control of her father's company, Margarita acquired her vast wealth as she diversified into real estate, mining, and alcohol production.

She was married to her father's partner Don Antonio de Ayala, a Spaniard from the Basque region of Alava de Ayala, Spain. Don Antonio de Ayala was one of the first directors of Banco Español-Filipino de Isabel II currently known as Bank of the Philippine Islands.

Margarita Roxas de Ayala became the foremost philanthropist of her time, donating her own summer residence called La Concordia in Santa Ana, Manila in 1868 to the Colegio de la Concordia which survives to this day as La Concordia College.

The school upon her instruction was staffed by a Spanish order of nuns, the Sisters of Charity, and dedicated to educating and giving scholarships to marginalized women.

She died on November 1, 1869 at age 43 leaving Don Antonio to run the company until his death in 1876. They had three daughters. The first daughter Carmen Roxas de Ayala would marry her cousin Don Pedro Pablo Roxas and their daughter Margarita Roxas de Ayala y Roxas would later marry Eduardo Soriano. They would become the parents of San Miguel Corporation industrialist Andres Soriano.

On This Day - July 19, 1969 - Ms. Gloria Diaz won Miss Universe pageant, held in Miami Beach, Florida

 

 

President Nixon said:

"The United States conquered the moon but the Philippines has conquered the Universe."

Ms. Gloria Diaz won Miss Universe pageant on July 19, 1969, held in Miami Beach, Florida, the same day the first man, astronaut Neil Armstrong, landed on the moon.

Díaz was 18 when she was crowned Miss Universe after outshining and outsmarting other candidates on the question on how to welcome the first men that had just landed on the moon, Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin and Michael Collins, as soon as they return to planet Earth.

The final question was:

"If the man from the moon should come down to earth and visit your hometown, what would you do to entertain him?"

Gloria’s winning answer was:

"Why, I guess I would do for him what I always do. Since he has been on the moon for so long, he would want a change."
