This post reminded me of my younger years. In my place along Kilometer 68 (my Lolas used to say) now EDSA and West Avenue, there were lots of trees and open spaces.
Big and mighty Acacia trees were standing along and in the middle of EDSA. Streching from North Avenue to Quezon Boulevard there used to be a forest. On the other side going to Pag-asa, there was a swamp where I learned to catch fish, dragonflies, butterflies and to cook kangkong.
Along West Avenue going to Circle, there were lots of open spaces and the only prominent establishment then was the Barrio Fiesta.
Now, instead of swamps, we have the North SM, on the other side where there was a forest is the Trinoma and squatter community( in front of the Philippine Women’s University – JASM High School). In the middle of EDSA is the MRT. No more mighty acacia trees. Along West Avenue, you can hardly find an open space.
One thing is for sure, trees and forests are disappearing fast and big malls are becoming the new forest.
Yes sexymom, in our own little way, from within our families, we can helpSAVE THE MOTHER EARTH.
