Mangrove: No Ordinary Tree

The Earth is in grave danger. Our planet is greatly affected by current situation of our planet and because of this, different alarms were sent to everybody, but only a few responded. Many organizations encourage people to use less electricity, use environmental friendly things, clean their surroundings and, most importantly, plant more trees. So, various kinds of trees were planted. Backyards, parks, even vacant lots were used for planting to at least control the change we are at.

One of the grown trees here is the Mangrove. Mangroves are tropical trees and shrubs that grow in intertidal areas. This tree has many uses. Traditionally, folks use this tree for flavouring agent, textiles, firewood, medicines, dyes, construction materials and even food. If you think that these things are the only use of mangroves, well, you might want to change your mind. Mangroves are amazing! They have grown in a place where not one plant can ever grow. They can survive in the sea. Mangroves are comprised of salt-tolerant tree and other plant species from a range of plant families. They thrive in intertidal zones of sheltered tropical shores, islands, and estuaries. Mangroves have specially adapted aerial and salt-filtering roots and salt-excreting leaves which enable them to occupy the saline wetlands where other plant life cannot survive.

They not only give people money and food, they also give us the protection from red tide, tsunamis and even the Global Warming. It also stabilizes the soil, protects the soil from erosion, it’s also used for nutrient retention, water quality improvement, flood mitigation, and carbon dioxide absorption which we, humans are releasing.

Undeniably, the Mangrove is no ordinary tree. Although to some, this kind of tree doesn’t matter, Mangrove is a tree that is really remarkable. We need the Earth and the Earth needs us. Plant now while you still have a chance. Let’s plant Mangrove because this tree might be one of the chances that we could hold on to. To save the world and to save ourselves, join us in this advocacy!

Mangrove Planting in Relation to CLIMATE CHANGE..

Nowadays, many schools are having air conditioners. And one of these is the University of Bohol. Because of that, all of us are obliged to plant trees in order to prevent Climate Change.

Climate Change is somewhat 'angry' to us and it is considered as our enemy. This morning, it is raining, and I am sure that this afternoon, it will never be raining again, thus, the sun will now show. The climate is really annoying us, not only for us people, but also to the animals and the plants. Because of climate change, people are having sickness due to the changing of the climate and maybe that sickness will become worst. On the other hand, plants are surely going to die if Climate Change will never stop and also to the animals too, because of the extremely heat of the angry sun and the dying cold of the rain.

We are obliged to plant trees because as we all know, air cons give out carbon dioxide and if we are not going to plant trees, our dear ozone layer will be having a big hole until that the day will come that there will be no ozone layer that would protect us from the UV rays.

For me, each one of us should plant trees like 5-10 trees so that we can avoid the climate change. And of course, the tree that we should plant is Mangrove because Mangroves have some capabilities that the other trees can’t do it and Mangroves can prevent tsunamis so maybe that’s why the reason why Mangrove trees are planted.
If we don’t like to have climate change, then we should take care our beloved Mother Earth so that there would be no consequences that we will be suffering.

 "Kahoy"

Mananom kita ug kahoy ka yang kahoy

makatabang sa tao ug ang kahoy makaprotect

sa mga tao dili ni nato putlan ang

mga kahoy. Ug bantayan nato ang mga

kahoy aron dili mahurot ang mga kahoy. Sama sa mangrove

nga atong bantayan mo protect siya sa atong kalibutan.

Kay ang mga tao dili na manombaling

sa mga kahoy kay tao magpataka na ug pamutol

Mangrove Planting related to Climate Change

Mangrove helps us to prevent big waves it also helps us o avoid red tide that kill fishes in the sea. They give us fresh air that we breathe. Mangrove helps us to prevent global warming. Mangroves grow after 20 years. If you plant mangroves now you will see it grow big after 20 years in year 2029. we also need to plant trees so that we could also help cool our earth.

Mangrove

Dapat tayong magtanim ng mga kahoy lalo na ang mga mangrove para maiwasan ang pag lala ng pagkasira ng ating ozone layer. Kaming mga 3rd year ay gumagamit ng airconditioner sa silid -aralan. Kaya dapat tayong magtanim ng mga puno. Para maiwasan ang Global Warming at para rin makatulong sa maliliit na mga isda. Dahil ito ang nag-sisilbing tahanan ng mga isda para maiwasan ang malalaking alon katulad ng tsunami.

Sabay sa ating paglaki ay ang paglaki ng mga puno at para masabi natin sa ating mga kaibigan at kapamilya na ako ay isa sa mga nagtanim ng mga 'yan.

CLIMATE CHANGE RELATED TO MANGROVE PLANTING

Global Warming is the effect of what people had done in their everyday living. But some of us really don’t know that it existed now especially those who abused the nature that could save our lives. It can easily be seen by our naked eye and so we should and immediately plan to solve these cases.

Mangroves are one aid to help climate change in exchange with fresh and clean air which we need as humans. We don’t know that these mangroves are the habitats of fishes in our seas which is also being consumed by people. In addition to that, they can also be an absorbent of unwanted gases in our surroundings like carbon dioxide (CO2). As students here in University of Bohol Day High School, planting mangroves is the best way to solve the problems regarding the use of air conditioners in every classrooms. Because it gives off CO2 then we only need a place to plant more of them. Then once we know how to and where to, we could be a model for some departments in this school and others may share it with other students especially who are using the kind of classrooms. And we might not know we could be the start of something new.

It is not easy to discover new things that will change the behavior of our climate instead it is easy to help the world stand for a better change. Let us help contribute the good things that mangroves will bring to us. Now is the time to plant mangrove trees to stay away from climate change…

Mangrove Trees

Mangrove tree is very important
Because it saves mother earth and us
Mangrove trees can also protect
A tidal wave and landslides.
Mangrove tree is important to us
Because it can save the animals and any other species
It can reduce carbon dioxide.
All plant we plant so that we can help mother earth

A mangrove can give life to the human race if there is no mangrove there is no life all humans need life so that we can do our living for all of us.
A mangrove can make a better place to make earth a beautiful place and a fresh aired place and the mangrove tree gives animal’s life and fresh air.

My pledge

“Climate Change”

Sa akong paglantaw karon aduna akoy nabantayan sa atong palibot ug kalibutan nga daghan nga kausbanan . Isa na ato ang sobra sa kainit nga basin sayo sa buntag pirte nang inita Hoohhh!!!! Pagkahasol ba niini. Ug ang akong ideya nga nahunuhunaan karon unta kita tanan magtanum ug kahoy sama sa mangrove nga maghatag ug kalandung ug proteksyon sa kainit.

Basin sa karon ug sa ugma ug sa umaabot nga panahon basig inig mata nato mukalit lang ug linog ug mu ulan ug kusog ug basig maglikiliki ang mga kalsada sama sa salida nga 2012 nga pirteng grabiha ang panghitabu hoohh!!! Grabe!!!1 hinaut unta nga kini mahatagan ug importansiya para dili ta makulbaan ug ma gady ta sa delubyo nga umaabot.

Ako nga usa ka Boholanon mangita ug paagi nga masulbad kining sitwasyon kay grabi gyud kini maung magtanum tag daghang kahoy aron proteksyn sama sa balud nga mu bunal ug makadag tsunami nga maoy makadaot sa atong palibut unta ipagdili na ang pagsunog ug plastics ug paglabay sa bisag usa na nga sagbot akung nakita sa dagat, kalsada ug sa palibot.”Purjus por santo”
