Hats off to our school paper advisers for their hard work and guidance! 👏 Congratulations to all the winners and participants for their outstanding efforts! ✨

🌿 Eco-Fact of the Week:

Did you know that recycling a single aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV for three hours?

1. Creating aluminum from bauxite ore is very energy demanding. The process includes mining the ore ⛏️, crushing it, refining it, and then using electrolysis, which consumes a particularly large amount of electricity🔋. As a result, producing new aluminum requires a huge amount of energy.

2. Recycling aluminum avoids the energy-intensive stages of production. Recycled cans are simply melted 🔥 and remolded 🛠️, a process that uses up to 95% less ⚡energy than producing aluminum from bauxite. Rather than extracting aluminum from ore, we just reuse 🔄 existing metal, making the process much quicker and far less demanding on electricity.

3. The energy saved by recycling one aluminum can is enough to power various household devices, such as:
A TV for 3 hours 📺⏱️
A laptop for 10 minutes 💻⏲️
A light bulb for several hours 💡🕒

Small action, big impact ♻️✨: recycle your cans 🥫 and help save energy ⚡💡!

🌿 Eco-Fact of the Week:

Did you know? Plastic never fully disappears. It only turns into microplastics that pollute our oceans, soil, and even the air we breathe.

Why plastic never completely disappears?

1. Built from tough chemical structures.
Plastics are created from polymers—long molecular chains sourced from petroleum. These chains are extremely sturdy, making them difficult to break down.

2. Microorganisms can’t break it apart.
Unlike natural materials such as paper or food scraps, plastic cannot be digested by bacteria or fungi because they lack the enzymes needed to decompose it.

3. It only breaks into smaller bits, not fully.
Sunlight, heat, and ocean movement gradually cause plastic to crumble into tiny particles called microplastics. However, these particles remain in the environment for hundreds or even thousands of years.

🌍♻️ Reduce, reuse, and rethink your choices! 🌿

🌿 Eco-Fact of the Week:

Recycling paper helps save trees and can reduce water pollution by up to 35% compared to producing paper from virgin pulp. ♻️💧

1. Reduced demand for virgin pulp – Since paper comes from wood, recycling decreases the need to cut down new trees for paper production.

2. Lower water use and chemical pollution – Producing paper from virgin pulp requires bleaching and other chemical treatments to remove lignin and impurities, which often end up in wastewater. Recycled paper already has much of the lignin removed, so it needs fewer chemicals and less water, resulting in less toxic discharge into rivers and streams.

In short: Recycling paper helps save trees, preserve forests, and cuts water pollution from paper production by about 35%, protecting rivers, lakes, and other freshwater ecosystems.

Small actions make a big difference for our planet! 🌎💚

📄 Walang Lukot na Puting Papel sa SRNHS ♻️
An Ecological Solid Waste Management Activity organized by the Youth for Environment in Schools Organization (YES-O).

This initiative aims to promote proper waste segregation, recycling, and environmental awareness among students. The collection of used white papers began in August 2025, and the weighing of all collected papers was conducted on October 17, 2025.

Through this activity, our students demonstrated their commitment to environmental stewardship, turning simple classroom efforts into meaningful action for a sustainable future.

🎉 Congratulations to all participants and winners for your dedication and contribution to protecting our environment.

♻️ Trash to Treasure: Plastic Bottle Creations!
In celebration of National Environmental Awareness Month 2025, let’s turn waste into wonderful creations! 🌱✨

🌍 Happy National Environmental Awareness Month!

This November 2025, San Roque National High School and YES-O join the nation in celebrating with the theme “Ending Global Plastic Pollution.”

Tara, San Roquenians! Sama-sama nating pangalagaan ang kalikasan — bawasan ang paggamit ng single-use plastics, mag-recycle, at maging eco-friendly sa araw-araw! ♻️

Maliit man ang hakbang, malaki ang epekto kapag sama-sama! 🌱

🧹✨ YES-O Second Quarter Clean-Up Drive 🧹

The Second Quarter Clean-Up Drive was successfully conducted on October 10, 2025 for Junior High School (JHS) and on October 20, 2025 for Senior High School (SHS), during their respective RHGP sessions.

🌿 This activity is part of the Youth for Environment in Schools Organization (YES-O) initiative — Project W.A.L.I.S. (We Actively Lead in School Cleanliness).

💚 Sincere appreciation is extended to all the students and teachers who actively participated and contributed to maintaining the cleanliness and orderliness of our school environment. 🍃🌳

🌎 Your collective efforts play a vital role in promoting a clean, safe, and conducive learning environment for everyone. 🌱📚

📸 Take a look at the moments captured during our Clean-Up Drive! 🌿✨

Hello SANROQUENIANS!
