QC tricycles and jeepneys to go green!!!

I would like to praise and personally commend in behalf of the world the efforts of the Quezon City Government especially to Councilor Bernadette Herrera-Dy for authoring a city ordinance that will require tricycle and jeepney operators to use eco-friendly technologies for their vehicles. "It's the turn of tricycles and jeepneys in Quezon City to go green.", according to the news report in Inquirer.net.

I am praising and commending Councilor Herrera-Dy because this is a risky move in a political perspective as the people who will be greatly affected by this ordinance are the "masa" which comprise the majority of the voters who can make or break a candidate aspiring for a government position. This is what I'm saying in my previous article entitled, "Who will you vote as RP president in 2010?", that a president or a politician for the sake of this blog should be able to execute firmly what he/she thinks is right to the majority even if it means having oppositions. I hope everyone agrees that we only have one planet where we live and losing it will mean putting to waste whatever efforts we made personally because losing it will mean death to all of us. Without Mother Earth, we don't have a life. Right? That's why this move is definitely a right move although it will not be a popular move amongst public drivers and operators because it will entail additional expenses for them.

But between environment and individual economy, environment definitely is far more important as it concern every single one of us human beings and other creatures of this world. But then, I do hope that the government would be able to "help" these people [by helping not providing the vehicle or parts but if they can why not] to convert from their fossil based vehicles to environment friendly ones.

This is definitely a start... And I admire the government also for "practicing what they teach" by applying the same ordinance on their own vehicles - by using biofuels themselves on their vehicles. This practice I hope be copied by other cities, municipalities and provinces [crediting Councilor Herrera-Dy for boldly spearheading the movement of course] in order for us to have a cleaner air and happier Mother Earth.
