Things i've gathered. . .
There is this university in La Union which reaches its concerns beyond the norm’s expectation. The Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University (DMMMSU) particularly the Institute of Fisheries is not only handling students to mold their future but also caring algae and other sea species to extend their lives. This is the main function of the foundation, it aims to improve the ecology of these species that only few of the population gives importance to.
Professor Enone Tepait, an associate professor of the mentioned institution is the one who welcomed the cadets in their land. She made an interesting lecture on the lives and kinds of algae they culture and propagate. She enlightened the cadets on how these algae helps humans and other species in their survival. She also mentioned the ways on how we can help in taking good care of these one of a kind organisms.
She then presented some of their products that are the product of their thorough research and studies. It was unexpected that out of the seaweeds, they were able to create a soap that is as (or better) effective as the commercial soap in treating skin diseases or just in maintaining a fair and healthy complexion. She also promoted their pickles made from the red algae. Accordingly, these pickles they created are healthy to consume and can be used as complement in making salads or any viand we long to prepare. They made it a point to make it travel pro so that it can be taken in distant areas and be consumed after a certain period of time. She iterated the nutrients we can take from eating these pickles. More than that, she presented a fertilizer which they researched effective as booster in any plant.
It is heartwarming to know that such institution exist. Those who extend their care not only to what they are supposed to or to what the people are expecting from them. They should altruism which cannot be compared to any material treasure. The mere care and love that drives them to do the project is already enough to inspire others to also care and love the environment.
