NBA Legend and Hall of Famer AC Green went on an NBA Cares Activity last April 11 after helping run the 2011 Jr. NBA National Training Camp at SM Mall of Asia. Green teamed up with reknowned mural artist and conservationist AG Sarno to paint a dolphin mural at the De La Salle campus to highlight the plight of dolphins and encourage their protection. Sarno, who has painted thousands of dolphin murals across the country and considers Green as one of his childhood heroes, invited Green to paint the mural with him. The NBA Cares activity coincided with the celebration of NBA Green Week when the league, NBA teams, players and partners generate awareness and raise funds to help support environmental protection. In the Philippines the NBA partnered with the World Wildlife Fund -Philippines which implements conservation and development projects nationwide and spearheads practical solutions to help the country adapt to climate change, secure food sources to alleviate poverty, conserve local ecosystems to reap natural benefits, empower communities to live low-impact lives, help corporations develop equitable, low-impact supply chains and promote renewable sources of clean energy.
