RAMON MAGSAYSAY, Zamboanga del Sur, Sept. 2 (PIA) – Officers and employees of Zamboanga del Sur Electric Cooperative, Inc. (ZAMSURECO-I) embarked on a tree-planting activity recently to show love and concern for the environment by planting some 1,200 mahogany seedlings at Area I – Sub-office compound in Barangay Switch, this municipality.

General Manager and chief executive officer Engr. Jose Raul A. Saniel encouraged employees of the electric cooperative to support environmental advocacy by taking care of the environment because the world is now experiencing global warming.

“The world has experienced extreme weather conditions such as more intense and long droughts, flooding in areas that were never flooded before in history due to climate change.” Saniel added.

He said global warming not only affects our country but the people as well.

The chief executive officer believes that planting more trees will be the most viable solution to the problem. “Planting more trees is the best solution to global warming because it will help reduce carbon emissions and purify the air,” he added.

“By planting trees, we invest for the future, and it is the most important investment for our mother earth,” Saniel stressed. He underscored the significance and benefits of planting a tree.

“Aside from the fact that it produces oxygen and removes carbon dioxide and contaminants from the air, the trees have many other social, economic, and environmental benefits,” he explained.

Saniel said the 1,200 mahogany seedlings they planted may seem very small in number but when these “plants will all grow, it will help save mankind.”

“We are not only planting trees but we are protecting them so that it will grow and survive for the generations to come,” Saniel concluded.
