Anne Curtis-Smith flips bottle vs climate change

-


Kapamilya star Anne Curtis-Smith took the challenge to flip a bottle as she helps raise awareness on climate change.

"I am flipping a bottle for climate change because if we don't raise awareness and ACT now the future generation will be the ones to face the consequences of climate change," said Curtis on Instagram.

"It WILL take a toll on the quality and quantity of water. And as we all know, water is such an essential part of our lives. Let's not take it for granted. If we don’t act NOW, 1 in 4 children will be facing a water crisis! So sweethearts, join us by posting your own bottle flip video! Don't forget to use the hashtags #FlipClimateChange," said the "It's Showtime" host.

Curtis also reminded the people to recycle those plastic bottles after all the bottle flipping.

UNICEF said that the new campaign aims is to show the many children around the world who are affected by climate change, and who want to see action.


A new report from UNICEF called "Thirsting for a Future" shows that in the coming years the demand for water is set to increase as food production grows, populations move, industries develop, and consumption increases.

"By 2040, around 600 million children will live in areas of extremely high water stress," it stated.

At the same time, as water stress increases, climate change threatens to destroy or disrupt water and sanitation services, the same report said.

"In times of drought or flood, in areas where the sea level has risen or ice and snow has unseasonably melted, children’s lives are at risk, as the quantity and quality of the water they drink is under threat," it added. - ROBERT REQUINTINA/TEMPO

"Oo I am. Pero I don't even know kung alam n'ya. During the Christmas party of ABS CBN last year, I was with Tito Bayani (Agbayani). E magkapitbahay silang dalawa. And even Tito Bayani was telling me hindi na n'ya nakikita si Erpat. Lagi s'yang busy. Sinabi ni Tito Bayani, 'why don't you just text him?' "said Diego, when asked if he's reaching out to his father, during an interview on "Tonight With Boy Abunda" on ABS CBN. "Sabi ko, 'why not?' Nanghihinayang ako eh.

Why not my father?; "Nanghihinayang lang ako. Sa kont

Megastar Sharon Cuneta has complained about the construction of her neighbor's condominium unit, saying that it brought stress to her family.

Her complete post: "We are sleep-deprived & the noise is stressful for me, my husband and and my children when we are home, that living in a beautiful building that has its own hotel and restaurants (and that cost more than what I sold our Wack-Wack house for!?!) still makes us all want to move out and check into a nearby hotel or transfer to a house or another condo!; "I understand how uncomfortable it is for a homeowner to have to do some construction in his own property and know he’s inconveniencing and bothering neighbors; "I am usually very understanding.
