Earth Day Celebration
Year 2008
Dearest,
We are leaving in the 21st century and we, people should be constant vigilant in what was happening in our environment. We should put more attention to our so called “EARTH” where we stay, enjoy and spend the most out of our life.
As time pass by, there are a lot of changes that takes place and we cannot blame each other for what we can see around us like garbage, pollutants, dirty canals, rivers and lakes. We are responsible for this whether we deny it or not. The clean “EARTH” was turn out now to a “DIRTY EARTH”. I want to address this problem not only for the sake of addressing it but to correct what is WRONG. We should start to be aware of the consequences when earth will totally takes it revenge.
Let us define what is GLOBAL WARMING.
Global Warming means Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-twentieth century and its projected continuation.
The term "global warming" is a specific example of global climate change. The term "climate change" can also refer to other periods of overall temperature change such as global cooling. In common usage, the term "global warming" refers to the warming in recent decades and its projected continuation, and implies a human influence.
Here are some signs of Global Warming:
- Heat waves and periods of unusually warm weather
- Ocean warming, sea-level rise and coastal flooding
- Glaciers melting
- Arctic and Antarctic warming
- Spreading disease
- Earlier spring arrival
- Plant and animal range shifts and population changes
- Coral reef bleaching
- Downpours, heavy snowfalls, and flooding
- Droughts and fires
1. Turn off the computer when it is not in use.
2. off the lights when it is not being use.
3. Learn to conserve electricity.
4. Pay attention to how you use water. The little things can make a big difference. Every time you turn off the water while you're brushing your teeth, you're doing something good.
5. Recycle.You can help reduce pollution just by putting that soda can in a different bin. If you're trying to choose between two products, pick the one with the least packaging. If an office building of 7,000 workers recycled all of its office paper waste for a year, it would be the equivalent of taking almost 400 cars off the road [Source: EPA].
6. Compost. Think about how much trash you make in a year. Reducing the amount of solid waste you produce in a year means taking up less space in landfills, so your tax dollars can work somewhere else. Plus, compost makes a great natural fertilizer. Composting is easier than you think.
PS: The little things can make a big difference.;))

"An Evaluation of the Corporate Identity of DLSU"
De La Salle University is the most visible identification of the university. It is made up of two elements, the DLSU logo and the DLSU logotype.
The DLSU Logo
The logo of De La Salle University has the following parts:- The five pointed star at the center is the Signum Fidei star. It is the sign of faith and is the symbol of the La Salle Brothers ( Fraternum Scholarum Christianarum). The star also means hope. The five points, bisected into green and white areas, represent benevolence, civility , humanitarianism, service-oriented goals, and scientific pursuit.
- The two fronds of laurel are the Gloria Et Honor Laurel. They signify inspiration for quality education.
- The motto 'Religio, Mores, Cultura' in Futura Bold typeface, surmounts the star and the laurel leaves forming an arch.
- The name 'De La Salle University' in Futura Bold typeface, serves as a border around the upper portion of the seal.
- The word 'Manila' in white Futura Bold typeface is carried at the bottom of the seal.
- A series of curves was adopted for the rim to form a scallop which serves as an ornament of the university logo.
Why Green and White?
According to the De La Salle University Institutional Identification Manual, Department of Communication, College of Liberal Arts, De La Salle University.
"The maiden issue of the student publication that came out in August 1924 was called "Green and White" which originated from the national colors of Ireland, (the "Emerald Isles" where the founding fathers of the De La Salle Brothers in the Philippines came from) and, of course, the Philippines ("Pearl of the Orient Seas", that is "pearly white").
Before 1939, the high school team took the nickname the "Greenies" (G&W 1938), following the school's colors.
The first Archer symbol appeared in the 1940 G&W, and the Sports Section featured articles covering the NCAA games of the 1939-1940 season, wherein our famous basketball players were referred to as the "Green Archers."
The 1941 G&W featured a photo of four graders who formed the original (first) Green Archers Cheer Squad.
The university logotype is 'De La Salle University'.
It uses the typeface Galliard, 90 % condensed, normal tracking. This particular typeface projects stability, quiet authority and dignity. It should be used whenever the logotype of the university signature is to be reproduced. The DLSU logo may appear without the logotype. However, the logotype should never be used without the logo. It should always appear together with the logo unless it is used as part of a text.
Color Standard
Color is an important factor in maintaining the uniformity and consistency of the university signature. The university signature may be reproduced in either color or black and white renditions according to various requirements. However, only the colors specified in this portion can be applied to the university signature. The colors of the university signature are Green Pantone 355U, Gold and Black 100%.
