With the alarming rate of increase in solid wastes in the Philippines, various organizations and institutions including EcoNest Philippines, Bokashi Pinoy Composting, St. John Bosco Parish Tondo, and SACHI-Group Inc. will be collaborating to start the #TrashtoNature program. Trash to Nature, an initiative launched by the sustainability alliance aims to be an avenue for waste collection, composting, a drop-off incentive program, and sustainable purchasing. This will encourage and educate communities on how to close the loop of circularity by bringing their organic wastes back to nature and turning them into resources. In support of the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000, this initiative highlights waste minimization using proper environmental practices and the utilization of valuable resources. Join us on the 17th of July, 2021, from 3:00-5:00 P.M. at the St. John Bosco Tondo Soccer Field to venture towards a sustainable future!
