The numerous relief drives and volunteering happening all around the metro, every one is inspired to contribute to how we can make it better for our fellow pinoys.
Lately, there have been complaints of garbage strewn all around evecuation centres.
Now here's another opportunity for all of us to make it better & make a difference:
HOW CAN WE OBSERVE GREEN PRACTICES ON A RELIEF DRIVE?
Here are other some responses received. Feel free to comment & add your own.
"Theresa Rivera: Ppl keep on forgetting that 99.99% of the reason why we had this calamity in the first place was because of our lack of environ responsibility (esp. proper waste disposal). Maybe we shud orient ppl abt it? Put up green signs?" ~@briankingong
"provide the evac. reusable feeding utensils so as 2 prevent waste build up we'v done dat in feeding prog." ~@tattylatagutz
