Sadly, there wasn't much promotion or awareness of the event. I only learned about "Earth Day" when I logged on to the Yahoo website and noticed the change in the website's logo.
Life in Manila continued as usual. The traffic around the city was still the same, the PUVs were still bleaching out black smoke, and the afternoon sun was hotter than ever.
I think people (in general) are too busy to think about the ozone layer, global warming, and the dangers of climate change. Who can blame them? There are other more pressing issues to worry about, like food, money, and personal security.
