Nestlé Philippines Sees “Tackling Climate Change Can’t Wait” – An Agriculturist, I Can’t Wait For 2050 For A Net Zero Tomorrow!

The ingeniousness of the youth is what is being sought for by NestléPH from students of Agribusiness Management & Entrepreneurship of UP Los Baños in inventing solutions to eliminate greenhouse gases (GHGs) to resolve climate change. Net Zero GHGs is everybody’s business.

I saw it today, Monday, 14 Mar 2022, on Facebook, the short video presentation that says, right at the start:

Tackling Climate Change Can’t Wait.
And neither can we.
Our global ambition is to reach Net Zero by 2050.
We are a force FOR GOOD in the Philippines.

Finally, my alma mater UPLB is paying attention to climate change!

Our global ambition is to reach Net Zero by 2050.
Accelerating our efforts
to mitigate climate change.
Plant MILLIONS OF TREES every year.
We are innovating and developing technologies
TO MAKE OUR PACKAGING recyclable and reusable by 2025.

We are educating consumers and promoting the right behavior towards
SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT.
For our children & our future generations.

Together, let us build
NET ZERO TOMORROW
TODAY.

The University of the Philippines Los Baños is involved. ABME 10 students are involved. Start-up concepts geared towards achieving net zero carbon emission are involved.

Teams with the best ideas will be selected.
Mentorship program with industry experts.
One team will be named The Nestlé Net Zero IdeaNation Winner!

I say:
Very necessary.
Very complicated!

Net Zero IdeaNation: UPLB and Nestlé PH partnering to elicit sustainable solutions from the youth.

From Snaps and Ganaps(snapsandganaps.com):

The Net Zero IdeaNation MOA signing was held recently with UPLB Chancellor Jose V Camacho, Associate Dean of College of Economics & Management Arlene Gutierrez, and Chair of Department of Agribusiness Management and Entrepreneurship Mar Cruz, together with Nestlé Philippines Senior Vice President & Head of Public Affairs, Communications & Sustainability Arlene Tan-Bantoto, and Assistant Vice President for Sustainability & Public Affairs Christine Garcia.

Stronger typhoons and rising threats to biodiversity and food security are just some of the impacts of climate change that have become more evident in the Philippines over the years. Therefore, tackling climate change cannot wait and urgent action is needed across all sectors of society.

As a Kasambuhay ng Kalikasan, Nestlé Philippines is taking a leading role in tackling climate change in the country. Guided by Nestlé’s global ambition and roadmap of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, it is committed to source responsibly, transform its operations, and help shape a (zero) waste-future.

My 100% scholarly congratulations, Nestlé!

Now, if you were looking for another super idea, here is this senior’s suggestion for a junior’s study under IdeaNation:
Adopt several villages and turn all farms & gardens organic 100%.
Collect data & information for 12 months.

Automatically, the emission of GHGs is zero! No chemical fertilizers, no chemical pesticides – no GHGs. Would not those villages make modern little Gardens of Eden? All fruits & vegetables 100%  healthy for eating; all the air 100% healthy for breathing.

Yes, That would be Net Zero Tomorrow!@517
