Today, STEM Aces and Grade 12 students participated in a school-based tree-planting drive. They planted langka seedlings, a succulent and nourishing fruit that can also help combat climate change. Each langka tree can absorb up to 22 kilograms of carbon dioxide per year, making them natural air purifiers. This activity was part of the Philippine Environment Month celebration, organized by the Cabanatuan City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CCENRO). As students, being environmentally conscious and proactive is a must in creating a more sustainable city.

As the renowned naturalist John Muir said, “𝘽𝙚𝙩𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙩𝙬𝙤 𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙙𝙤𝙤𝙧𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙖 𝙣𝙚𝙬 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙.” Let’s open that door and embrace the wonders of nature. Trees are the earth’s endless effort to speak to the listening heaven.
