Let's Support the GreEnvironment Project through the Lenovo EExtraordinary 10-second hero contest

I'm sure all of us are busy.  I am busy to that's why I have not had the time to post this as soon as I should have.  We are so fortunate that the Philippines have Ms. Zyra Bambico and the rest of the Rotaract Club of San Pedro East who dedicated their time to start the GreEnvironment Project.    It is a clean up initiative of underdeveloped areas, emphasizing focus on keeping San Pedro East clean.  I liked the video because it reminds us that although we are busy, everyone can spare even just 10 seconds to do something for the environment.  Hopefully, if she wins the Lenovo EExtraordinary 10-second hero contest, they will have more funds for the further implementation of her GreEnvironment Project.

Here’s the list of the top 5 finalists as of Sep. 29:

1.       India
2.       Philippines
3.       US
4.       Spain
5.       Australia



I hope we all show our support for her and the heroes to come so we can make a difference.
