Deforestation

Lots of natural gas, gasol, available here for reasonable price. Most people never have the money to invest in a gasol burner (from 1000 p) and the first gasol tube (1500 p). Fill-up now is 825 p. So they buy firewood every day, or charcoal for grilling.

Coal is plenty and mined in Negros and Mindanao. All this goes to power plants.

One bunch of firewood is 5-10 p. Charcoal is 5 p. Firewood is only sticks. You cannot see old, big trees here anymore 'cause cut for firewood or burned to charcoal. Or cut for animal feeds (goat, cow).

Deforestation is a serious issue. I cannot see how to solve this with todays family planning, that is lack of it.

Word of the day: kahui = firewood, oling = charcoal (also nick for nigger)
