As we celebrate the greatness of all mothers in the world today, here are a few Motherโs Day celebration ideas (you can even do this with your family everyday!) for you to consider to honor both your Mom and Mother Earth. If you take her out to eat, go to a restaurant serving locally sourced/sustainable foods. Instead of dinner or maybe after going out to dinner, take your Mom for a walk in nature. Make her dinner instead, and use veggies or herbs from your garden. If you arenโt growing any, start making plans for next month. Buy her a set of nice reusable grocery bags โ it might not sound exciting but you use them at least once a week and help you minimize your consumption of single-use plastic bags. If you are planning to buy a gift, buy something made locally, without being shipped across the ocean or trucked across the country burning fossil fuels. If your Mother doesn’t require much else, consider donating to an organization that promotes environmental activities or protects Mother Earth โ from one Mother to another.

Mitigating Urban Flooding thru Green Infrastructures
Rapid urban expansion exposes assets and people to increasing flood hazards. Urban sprawl and the increase of built settlements can result in the loss of permeable surfaces, decreasing the ability of water to seep underground. As a result, runoff, discharge, and sedimentation increase the rate of urban flooding like those that affect the City this past few months. Cities need a strategic mix of โgreyโ and โgreenโ infrastructure or so-called Low-Impact Developments (LID) to mitigate these hazards. Low-Impact Developments (LID) can help increase a cityโs resilience while providing co-benefits such as sustainability, biodiversity, and eco-tourism. In the previous years, IDIS conducted studies on the status and importance of various green infrastructures in building disaster-resilient cities. And with the data gathered, IDIS utilized this in lobbying for the integration and promotion of green infrastructure to various local policies and plans such as the Local Climate Change Action Plan (LCCAP) and Comprehensive Land Use Plan (2022-2032). ๐ฆ๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐จ๐ฟ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐๐๐๐ฒ๐บ๐SuDS mimic nature and typically manage rainfall close to where it falls. SuDS can be designed to transport (convey) surface water, slow runoff down (attenuate) before entering watercourses. They provide areas to store water in natural contours and can be used to allow water to soak (infiltrate) into the ground or evaporated from surface water and lost or transpired from vegetation (known as evapotranspiration). ๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐Permeable pavement is a low-impact design that can infiltrate water runoff into underlying soils, mitigate flood, provide cooling and reduce heat than conventional cemented pavements. ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ป ๐ฆ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐Urban green spaces generally include parks, public green spaces, allotments, green corridors, street trees, urban forests, roof, and vertical greening, private gardens, and domestic gardens. Increasing urban green spaces is considered an effective approach to reducing the adverse impacts of urbanization on the hydrological cycle. Urban green spaces intercept water from the canopy and stem areas and enhance infiltration into the soil and root systems. ๐จ๐ฟ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ช๐ฒ๐๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐There are several wetlands in Davao City, and most people seem to neglect its importance, especially in flood mitigation. Wetlands act as natural sponges, soaking up and holding water until it can infiltrate into the ground. Wetlands also provide immense water storage benefits while slowing water to reduce the height of floods and erosion rates. Currently, IDIS conducts ecological profiling on various wetlands in the City. Data gathered on this study will be utilized for lobbying for the protection of urban wetlands in the City. ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ดManaging, controlling, and making use of rainwater within the vicinity of rainfall is known as rainwater harvesting. Rainwater harvesting decreases peak flows as well as reduces flooding and the damages resulting from flooding. These are just few of the infrastructures that can help mitigate flooding in the City. In addition to this, IDIS believes that by collaborating across the disciplines of urban planning, public policy, and disaster risk management and integrating grey-green infrastructure into the urban landscape, we can create robust cities and healthier communities.

๐๐๐ถ๐น๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐ The rapid expansion of cities takes place without any land use planning strategy and the resulting human pressure has highly damaging effects on forests, landscapes, as well as green areas in and around cities. Increasing pollution and the frequency of catastrophic climatic occurrences are all effects of urbanization that are frequently exacerbated by climate change. Urban trees can help cities become more adaptable to change by mitigating some of the adverse effects and social repercussions of urbanization. A city with well-planned and well-managed green infrastructure becomes more resilient, sustainable, and equitable in climate change mitigation and adaptation, disaster risk reduction, and ecosystem conservation. Trees can provide a benefit package worth two to three times more than the investment made in planting and caring for them throughout their lifetime. ๐ฃ๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ ๐ถ๐, ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ, ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฎ๐น ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ณ๐๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐!
Nutrition Month
What we eat matters. Every day, the food choices we make have a significant impact on the environment. The good news is that even minor adjustments in what we buy and consume may have a big impact on the environment, such as fewer harmful chemicals, lower global warming emissions, and the protection of our ocean resources. Eating “green” may also mean eating fresher, healthier foods while saving money at the supermarket and supporting local farmers.Because the environmental effects of our food are scattered over all phases of a lengthy and tiresome process, it’s easy to miss them. Food production, processing, and transportation, from farm to fork, may consume vast quantities of energy, water, and chemicals. We have a few suggestions to assist you and your family make healthy, smart food choices: Choose Climate-Friendly Food Food that comes from high on the food chain or arrives to your plate after extensive processing tends to require more energy and release more global warming pollution into the air. Eat lower on the food chain by adding more fruits, vegetables, and grains to your diet and limiting your intake of red meat. Look for fresh foods with the fewest process steps from farm to plate. Freezing, packaging, processing, cooking, and refrigerating food all increase energy use Azษrbaycanฤฑn ษn yaxลฤฑ onlayn kazino saytlarฤฑnฤฑn reytinqi Buy Organic Produce Organic agriculture is a safer choice for the environment and your family because organic growers donโt use synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. Pesticide use degrades air and water quality, while threatening the health of workers, farmers, and communities nearby Watch Your Waste Always bring with you an eco-bag or bayong and food containers when going to the market. This will help you reduce your plastic consumption. And always avoid food waste. If food waste canโt be avoided, compost it. Buying locally Choose local food options whenever possible and avoid purchasing food imported by airplane. But keep in mind that the type of food and how it was produced may be of greater environmental significance.Through the act of eating, we are more than just consumers. Eating often involves moral decision-making rooted within the context of cultures, traditions and social structures that impact human nutrition and health outcomes in a globalized way. We have a responsibility as โeatersโ to think about our actions and their consequences as we participate in an ever more globalized food system.
Bantay Dagat: Ocean Frontliners
Plastics are a threat to both humans and non-human species and their continued proliferation is an irony to the Cityโs claim that LIFE IS HERE. Bantay Dagat volunteers collected an average of 1,200 sacks of garbage from Davao Gulf each month for 2019 (Mindanao Times, 1,200 sacks of garbage collected each month in Davao Gulf โ ASU). According to reports, 63 whales and dolphins have been found dead in Davao Gulf since 2009, 47 of which have swallowed plastic trash mistaken as food. In addition to this are countless reports of turtles choking and dying due to plastic bags and straws. Thus, there is a need to be more conscious about our plastic consumption as majority of our plastic waste here in the City ends up in the Davao Gulf if not thrown properly. IDIS believes that the number of plastic wastes found in the gulf will continue to increase especially with the current flooding and city’s insatiable appetite for single-use plastics. Bantay Dagat continuously conducted coastal clean ups to help in cleaning Davao Gulf. City Government of Davao also provided trainings and machineries to help in the efforts of our volunteers. In addition to this, just this year, the City Council passed an ordinance regulating single-use plastics which will help in lessening the plastic consumption and waste in the City. We at IDIS believe that we should be consistent with our interventions and direct our efforts to the education and awareness at the grassroots level and reduce garbage at source. This also involves active participation of Dabawenyos in disciplining themselves in terms of lessening our waste and saying no to single-use plastics. ๐๐ป ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐น๐ฒ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ต ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ป, we all need to be aware of the importance of the oceans and of the threats humanity poses to their sustainability. But instead of being just a brief period in which concerns for our oceans are in the spotlight, it should be used by policymakers and advocates as an occasion to initiate substantial changes that will help make those concerns a part of our everyday lifestyle and ways of doing business.
