April 20 at 6:44 AMDay 20 of the ecochallenge, while running in the University of the Philippines today, I came across a couple of discarded pet bottles along the trail.

April 19 at 2:09 AMOk, it's a first for me. I just learned that the Philippine DENR, under its Biodiversity Management Bureau has a Urban Biodiversity Conservation section.

Collecting almost 200kg of waste in a stretch of about 150 meters, with about 60 people participating made the work easier. Firstly, we went to assigning roles, processes, types of...

April 18 at 7:43 PMToday, I’m challenging my office mate to a zero-waste lunch showdown! On one side, it’s me with my reusable bag, lunch box, watercup and utensils, championing the cause of sustainability. On the other side, it’s my office mate, armed with a Jollibee lunch, complete with plastic water bottles and utensils. Even though the packaging is...

April 18 at 2:47 AMThe Philippines has a big problem with sachet plastic waste, making up a third of all sachet waste in Asia. Companies are mostly to blame for this, as they promote the use of sachets. Using sachets a lot caused health problems, fills up landfills, and hurts the environment. Big companies need to take responsibility and stop making sachets,...
