As part of implementation of the No Plastic Policy, the canteen stopped using plastic drinking straws for soft drinks. The school also discouraged the use of Styrofoam - whenever there are celebrations the students are encouraged to bring their own containers.
Actively pushing the goal of instilling among students the right practice of waste segregation, the School Council of Students (SCS) distributed to each classroom two new trash bins for biodegradable and non-biodegradable wastes; and boxes for papers which can still be recycled.
Moreover, garbage disposal areas of the school were specified. Located in these areas are groups of bins secured in structured plywood and covered with tarpaulins having cartoonish designs to get the attention of children of the designated areas to throw their trash.
The SCS officers however promised to do more research on how to make waste disposal fun and interesting thus making the Green Calapan program sustainable.(Ara Mariel Bolasco/Louie T. Cueto/PIA-4B)
