Green for Life Run


As early as now, we are posting January 25, 2009, as our target date to host the 1st Green For Life Run -- a project of the Lasallian Institute for the Environment (L.I.F.E.) and the 1 Million Trees Project.

La Salle is known for its Green color -- we believe it is the color of LIFE!! We also believe that protecting the environment is extremely important -- to save our planet, our country and provide a place of hope to live in for the next generations. That's the reason why L.I.F.E. was formed and why De La Salle Philippines has championed the 1 Million Trees project as a priority and flagship project. 1 Million Trees aims to plant 1 Million Trees by 2011 -- 2011 being the centennial anniversary of the Lasallian Brothers in the Philippines and DLSU as an institute.

What better way to generate awareness in environmental concerns than to organize the First Green For Live Run!!

For La Salle -- Green is our Color -- but Green is also the color of the Environment!! We hope everyone -- whether Lasallian or not -- will take up the cudgels and run in our Green For Life run!! We look forward to seeing you at the run and help start a movement for the protection of our planet. Green for Life!! Animo La Salle! Animo All!

Hi Manokan --- you're right -- any suggestions?

Count me in! Agree with Manokan - it would be great to run somewhere green! Tagaytay or Baguio perhaps Or UP?

Johnny Sy said...

Hey fitmommy!! Glad you'll join -- we'll take the suggestion into consideration. I wonder if people will be excited to run at the La Mesa Dam park??? That's green all the way!!

I haven't been to La Mesa Ecopark and I just researched about it now. Thanks to you... It looks perfect! I'll take my son there sometime in the first week of September and see how it looks and how far it is...

Hi GG -- thanks for personal update on your research work on the La Mesa Dam site -- I guess I'll have to personally do a visit as well. I'm meeting with some of the organizers this week -- your inputs will be valuable. Thanks again.

Hi Kassy -- yep, yep, yep -- thanks and will try to get well soon.
