THE Filipino youth’s sheer power was harnessed with the launch of the “Earth Day Every Day” project to help address the country’s perennial plastic-pollution menace.
This plastics-collection competition among students nationwide by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources is aimed at engaging them on the importance of recycling plastics and promoting a culture of environmental responsibilities, in-line with the values of scouting.
Because this is a sustainable initiative, students can still bring their gathered plastics to designated SM Supermalls collection facilities in Pasay, Marikina, Pasig, Manila, Quezon City, Bulacan, Pampanga, Cavite, Cebu, and Davao. The project is in-line with this year’s Earth Day celebration theme: “Planet vs Plastic,” which “calls to advocate for widespread awareness on the health risk of plastics, rapidly phase out all single-use plastics, urgently push for a strong United Nations Treaty on Plastic Pollution, demand an end to ‘fast fashion,’ and build a plastic-free planet for generations to come.
The DENR advocates for a circular economy where all plastic applications are reused, recycled, and responsibly handled during and after use, while enabling a lower greenhouse-gas emissions plastic economy.
