The UAP Batangas Chapter, in cooperation with UAPSA and Batangas State University College of Engineering, Architecture and Fine Arts shall hold a symposium on Green Architecture and Environment on January 17, 2009, Saturday, 1pm at the Batangas State University Alangilan Campus in Batangas City.  The theme of the symposium is “Environmental Awareness – A Key to Sustainable Development”.  Julius Pio A. Rana, President of UAP Batangas Chapter, once again invited me to join them in their green awareness campaign.  Its a great opportunity to share with the youth challenges and experiences in the field in promoting sustainability. I hope I get to inspire the Batanguenos in increasing the uptake of green building in their city.  Joining me in the symposium is Mark Mulingbayan an environmental engineer, he will be presenting issues on environment and sanitation.  Congratualtions in advance to the organizers of this event for promoting sustainability in your city.
