SIMPLE WAYS TO SAVE THE WORLD by Mitzi Borromeo Eco-conscious citizen

When it comes to painting the town red, try not to leave a big mess behind you. The more stuff we consume and collect— food, clothes, gadgets and other unexplainable accessories— we contribute to our city’s garbage or solid waste amounting to about 5,350 tons per day. That’s about five Mall of Asias full of garbage! (Well, maybe not exactly, but you get the point). Instead of depending on our government leaders, we can take action and be part of the solution. Every little thing counts. Here are a few tips for the fun-loving urbanite:

ECO-FRIENDLY PLACES TO GO TO IN THE CITY by Paulo Alcazaren Columnist Phil Star, Editor-in-Chief BluPrint Magazine, Principal PGAA Creative Design

1. The Balara Filters [Balara Filter Compound, Katipunan Ave., Quezon City]. Learn about our earth’s water supply and how we can conserve it. 2. La Mesa Dam Eco Park [East Fairview Quezon City, T: 410-9670, www.lamesaecopark.com]. Walk among the foliage, swim, explore, and learn more about our precious water resources. 3. The American Cemetery [Fort Bonifacio, Taguig]. Yes, it’s a cemetery, but it’s also the best classroom for tropical shrubs and trees. (Most are identified with Latin and common names.)

1. Drive smart!

Skyrocketing gas prices are taking a toll on our fun expenses. Save some money and lessen your environmental footprint by going easy on the gas pedal. Carpooling can also save on gas, wear and tear on your vehicle, oil resources, and reduce all the associated nasty environmental impacts associated with driving.

2. Easy on the plastic.

BYOB (bring your own bag) when you shop and say no to the ugly plastic bags at the tiangge or your favorite shops. Ask the person at the counter to skip the earth-hostile Styrofoam packaging next time you order takeout. Steer away from that plastic stir stick, coffee junkies! An estimated 138 billion of them wind up in the trash each year.

1. Limit the use of your vehicle. Prevention is the best way for conservation. 2. Walk. It’s good exercise. (It’s not bad as you think). 3. Get the excess load out of your vehicle (like stuff left in the trunk for months

3. Kick the habit. Lose the unattractive smoker’s pallor, odor, cough, and other nasty side effects of cigarette sucking and keep the air clean. Buy yourself more time on this planet by sparing your body from more damage. The money you save from smoking all those sticks a month will go quite a long way into the fun funds. Patronize Philippine-made products instead of scouting out those hard to find imported items that take so much energy to bring into the city. Think about how much more energy it takes to get those imported products to you and your body – from producer to manufacturer to store, and to us.

Organic, green, earth friendly, “eco” this and “enviro” that - all nice buzzwords, but read between the spin and look for the substance - how are these terms applied; what’s the justification and context? Do keep in mind that very few products are 100% green. It’s amazing how many products that are actually quite earth-friendly are packed in so much plastic that it basically negates any claim to environmental benefit. Look for minimal/recycled packaging wherever possible.

Voice on the Streets

URBAN DISCOVERY PROJECT ROCKS BORACAY & BONIFACIO HIGH STREET The Urban Discovery Project CD rocked the sands of Boracay as well as Bonifacio High street as West cigarettes kicked off the release of the brand-new album across the islands this summer. West Cigarettes joined hands with Rogue magazine in two smashing parties, one at Boracay seaside featuring Lady-I, whose “Amanagetcha” is just one of the must-listen tracks on the CD. In Manila, the Urban Discovery Project CD caused quite a stir at the launch of Rogue’s first annual Philippine Music Portfolio issue. And there was no better time to launch this platform, featuring 14 of the country’s top indie artists. The Urban Discovery Project slides from rock to reggae to rap, r&b to hiphop and soul in one smooth move – with as much finesse as your favorite urban cigarette, West. Featured artist for the evening was no less than Blush, whose track, “Anybody Like You’ brought the house of music-philes down. The Urban Discovery Project CD is exclusively available with every purchase of West twin packs. Check out more details on www.urbandiscoveryproject.com.

Songs of the Free DRIP

Smooth, cool, sexy, and very trippy, Drip— the independent song-based electronic band that’s been heating up the live music scene for a few years now—is taking their music where few local music acts have gone before. From online in iTunes, Walmart, CDBaby and Napster, Drip’s new album Identity Theft has an interesting feature that enables anybody to sample and mix their own versions of Drip’s songs, legally, making the band the most-remixed act in the Philippines. And if you haven’t gotten enough of Ben Alcazaren’s caramel smooth voice and the electronic musical stylings of Malek Lopez at the synths, Ian “Morse” Magbanua’s beats and loops and Arvin “Caliph8” Nogueras’ spins and scratches at the turntables, you can check out the “Drip Channel” on their website (dripmanila.multiply.com) and download their videos via Bluetooth during their live gigs around town.

MUSICALTRIPPINGS Wow, time does fly when you’re having fun, before we knew it, we’re already in the second half of the year, and the international superstars are still coming in waves to perform on our shores. Here are the two notables for the month August:

MUSET SE After four years, Alicia Keys returns to Manila, bigger and better than ever. The rhythm and blues, soul and neo-soul super star is in her finest form. In her latest album “As I Am,” her voice is bigger, her themes richer in emotion and plumbing even deeper into her unique interplay of soul, R&B and hip-hop. Hear her new hits such as the upbeat “No One” and “Teenage Love Affair” and the ballads “Superwoman” and “Prelude to a Kiss.” Expect nothing less than to be blown away when she hits the stage at the SM Mall of Asia Complex on Tuesday, August 5. For tickets call 891-9999.

Panic at the Disco invades Manila Vegas style—in all their pomp and theatricality. Dance and rock out to their eclectic sound. They’ve incorporated nearly everything— from pop, punk, big beat, electronic, dance, and rock, along with genres like psychedelic, folk and jazz. Catch them at the Araneta Coliseum on August 14. For tickets and information, call 911-5555 or 813-2612/813-2617.
