We ran across our friend's article on the lessons learned from Typhoon Ondoy. Read the excerpts we culled from the post below:

Many of us use a lot of paper and wood products and like my friend’s country, we also cut a lot of trees.  But many of those that do the cutting, don’t necessarily consider just how much paper and wood we need. They just cut and cut and sell and sell, never mind if they violate or environmental laws.

And so the need for resource recovery.  The concept is just simple, anyway.  Create savings in our resources, meaning use the limited resources of our environment wisely, albeit not sparingly, but wisely.  Save the lot that can be saved. And avoid usage that could be harmful to others or to the environment itself... When you save, you have something for the rainy day... That’s added income, added profit... When you care, you are more careful... Then less harm, less hazard to the surroundings.

When you do something wisely, you do it efficiently and effectively... That’s increased productivity.  Now increased productivity, translates to more income, more profit for less effort and lower levels of waste. Read more about this post here...
