Save Baguio trees

SM Mall Baguio intends to cut 43 trees and uproot another 139 at Luneta Hill to pave the way for the construction of a 7-floor parking building. The defenseless trees can count on no one but concerned citizens like you to speak on their behalf.

Join us in telling the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to stop SM from paving paradise for a parking lot!

Dear Sir/Ma'am,

I write to you as a concerned citizen, to urge you to stop SM Baguio's plan to cut/ball trees to make way for a parking lot in Luneta Hill.

I believe that trees play a vital role to the environment. It is unacceptable and irresponsible that a shopping mall expansion would be used as an excuse to destroy precious trees that are are integral part of our ecosystems. It is ironic that such organisms, which together act as heat sinks in urban settings that are increasingly choked by carbon dioxide, are being displaced and killed to make space for more carbon emitting objects.

Please revoke the Environmental Compliance Certificate that you issued to this highly damaging proposal and instead seek sustainable solutions to the challenge of urbanization.  The future of Baguio, including its reputation as a mountain retreat setting closely connected to nature as the country's summer capital, greatly hinges on your decision on this matter.

It is my hope that you will take the message of this email as a matter of urgency.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

info
