Search for Sustainable and Eco-friendly Schools to be Announced

The wait is over — the winners of the Nationwide Search for Sustainable and Eco-friendly Schools will be announced on November 19, that’s a Thursday, at green mall SM Annex.

Your school could be it!

The Search is organized by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources – Environmental Management Bureau (DENR-EMB), Department of Education (DepEd), Commission on Higher Education (CHED), and SMART Communications in recognition of the efforts of schools all over the Philippines to undertake eco-friendly programs and activities.

Why Schools? Again, because the school system is a vital part of our basic learning and is seen as a powerful vehicle for change. The school population, comprising of the students, teaching and non-teaching personnel, constitute a sizeable percentage of the national population.

The Nationwide Search for Sustainable and Eco-friendly Schools is in support to Republic Act 9512, or the Environmental Awareness and Education Act. I believe there’s gonna be another run of this contest a year from now… so if your school doesnt get picked, you dont have to worry!

By the way, finalists and winners of the painting contest we held will also be exhibited there.. Air was the main focus, but themes of the painting range from farmlands needing protection to education for cleaner air, to being against “the cigarette” and “the factories” to working together for a better earth.

Be there!
