Save the planet with Justin Bieber and Lil Dicky

Hi! I'm a baboon, and I’m truly embracing the weird with this post.

A friend sent me a link to a song by Lil Dicky (yes, that guy from Freaky Friday) and I didn’t listen to it at first because I’m not a huge fan of this weird bearded dude. When I saw the video on the trending tab on YouTube a few days later, curiosity kicked in and damn son, it’s entertaining and relevant.

I’m making an effort to write about this song not just because it’s catchy and has an all-star ensemble (with a surprise cameo at the end), but because like my other posts, this video can help save the Earth!

To make this possible, Lil Dicky collaborate with 28 famous artists and one award-winning actor (you have to listen to the song ang guess who’s who). The number of streams and views that the song will get will help earn donations for nonprofits like the Quick Response Fund for Nature, the Shark Conservation Fund, the Solutions Project, the Global Greengrants Fund and the Carbon Cycle Institute. Of course, help spread awareness about climate change by sharing this video to your friends. It’s a bit PG-13 so if you want a clean version, click here.

Enjoy the video!

Spoiler alert: Check out this article after you watch the video.

Plant a million trees with a single like!

Shoutout to everyone who has an account on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter!

I’m not exactly proud of this but there are days when I spend hours on social media, which means hours of zero productivity. A few nights ago, I stumbled upon one of my friends’ stories on Instagram where she shared a post that said “double tap to plant a tree.” My first thought was finally, another way to use social media for good!

Help plant trees while you stay online!

Ok, so, there are so many things I want to write about; I just never have enough energy or enthusiasm to put words onto paper (or laptop or whatever) BUT I stumbled upon something really cool—we can help plant trees while searching the web!

I’m always looking for ways on how to help save the planet (how very superhero of me) but constant laziness (when it comes joining outreach programs, recycling, etc.) keeps getting in the way. I try to be as Earth-friendly as possible (btw, I sell glass straws! Hit me up for orders lol) but being in the office nine hours a day can limit my options. While browsing through Facebook, I saw a post about Ecosia. Basically, it’s a search engine (like Google) where if you make around 45 searches, you help plant one tree!

Feed a kid for 25 pesos a day!

How much do you spend on food for one day? PhP 100? PhP 150 for just one drink? PhP 200?

Through the ShareTheMeal app created by the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), you can feed one child for a day for only US$ 0.50. That’s a whole day for just around PhP 25. The amount you spend on food for one day can feed a child for a week already!

25 pesos to feed a child for one day??? How is that enough?
