GiG Talks - September 5, 2014

Friday next week (September 5), the UP Mountaineers will once again hold the Green Is Good (GiG) Talks at the College Architecture of UP Diliman. This will be the fifth in the series, and third to be held in UP.
The forum is patterned from the popular Ted Talks in the US, but focusing on social issues that are somehow related to the environment. Past speakers come very varied fields, from architects, to artists. From people from the academe to hobbyists with a passion for mother nature.
This session's lineup is no different. Five speakers will talk about a wide range of topics like sustainable food production, water supply, marine wildlife, and inclusive mobility
 
In the first Talk, I was asked to speak on behalf of the newly-formed Search and Rescue Team of UPM. Stage fright aside, I did my best to share the importance of knowing preparing for disasters, and when to evacuate to safety. I would say it was a fun experience, if only I didn't hate the sound of my voice.
So if you find yourself with nothing better to do on September 5 (5:30 in the afternoon), head on over to the College of Architecture at the Museum of Philippine Architecture (ground floor) and get feed your mind with some green-tinted knowledge.
