Bloggers: Promote a Plastic Waste Collection & Recycling Drive!

Environment & Sustainability | May 07, 2017 | Volunteer Event

We need BLOGGERS TO HELP US PROMOTE PLASTIC WASTE AND USED COOKING OIL RECYCLING. 
Volunteers are expected to experience the advocacy--which means coming on time and joining the group that will sort and segregate the collected plastic waste and used cooking oil--and then blog about it within two weeks in their respective websites and social media networks. Please tag Pandacan Ecology Ministry and share our messages and events.

We are based in Pandacan, Manila. 
 
Create an eco-friendly city where everyone recycles, reduces, and re-uses; where everyone ACTIVELY cares for the environment.
 
We are a volunteer group in Pandacan, Manila engaged in taking action to protect our environment. Currently, we are working on a plastic waste recovery and recycling initiative. We have succeeded in creating a collection/sorting system and getting industry partners to recycle plastic waste into useful bricks for recycling.
 
The challenge is to get ALL the barangays to participate. We have created a system with only our meryenda money for funds. This is proof that LGUs can implement Ecological Solid Waste Management with a dose of resourcefulness. We need volunteers so we can scale up. We need graphics designers, writers, social media specialists, educators, and coordinators.
 
Every fourth, Sunday we sort through collected plastic waste that will then be picked up by an industry partner for recycling into pavers or bricks.
 
We collect and sort the following:
These items are not being collected by junk shops, and are normally just thrown mixed into trash.
  • laminates such as empty sachets and snack packaging
  • sando bags
  • plastic wrapping and packaging material
  • styro foam
  • used tetrapacks used plastic cups
For inquiries about this initiative, if you wish to duplicate this initiative in your community, contact Sis Lou Arsenio at ecology.rcam@yahoo.com or 09284280144.
