Today signifies the commencement of a significant endeavor. The Barkada Kontra Droga (BKD) has joined forces with the SSLG, YES-O, Science Club, STE Club, Class Presidents, and the Science Department Teachers to inaugurate the Environmental Information and Education Advocacy Program seminar under the theme "Our Earth, Our Responsibility: Environmental Awareness Initiatives."
Our guest speaker, Mr. Rommel E. Bilog, Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Officer (MENRO), shared valuable insights with us about conserving our natural resources. He discussed topics such as biodiversity, solid waste management, clean-up drives, clean and green programs, the waste collection process, proper recycling methods, and the relevant environmental laws. This knowledge will help us become more aware of environmental issues and enable us to share and promote what we learned during the seminar with fellow students and teachers.
This program serves as a platform for acquiring knowledge, active participation, and taking action on crucial environmental concerns such as climate change, resource preservation, and pollution mitigation. Through education, community engagement, and implementable strategies, we are addressing urgent environmental issues and advocating sustainability. By participating in this initiative, we are not only committing to making eco-conscious decisions in our daily routines but also championing broader systemic transformations.
