The annual Philippine Earth Day will soon be celebrated by the
22nd of April. It has been the tradition to put off lights for one
hour as an energy saving activity during the day. But for this year, there are
plans for a week-long celebration and activities to nurture Mother Earth will
be held all over Mindanao. One of such activities is the Green Caravan.
The Green Caravan will be spearheaded by the EarthSoul

Agriculture, Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Department of
Agrarian Reform, Department of Interior and Local Government, Technical
Education and Skills Development Authority, and the City of Davao.
The said activity aims to increase awareness of Mindanaonons
on the serious environmental issues facing them and the need to take resolute
action. As the name suggests, Green
Caravan will be a parade to protect nature. It will be held on April 17-19 and shall
start at four different locations scattered all over Mindanao and end at Davao
City.
The first route will be from Zamboanga City, including Sulu,
Tawi-tawi, Lamitan, Isabella, and Basilan. The second route will start at
Cagayan de Oro City, along with Ozamis, Marawi, Oroqueta and Tangub. The third
route will compose of Cotabato and the SOCSKSARGEN area. The last route will
