In pursuit of an ecological response to the solid waste problem, the Environmental Studies Institute (ESI) in collaboration with the Department of Environment conducted a forum aptly titled, “The Whys and Hows of Zero-Waste” and launched an Eco-Bricks Campaign on September 5, 2018.

The activity featured Mr. Rei Palacio of Ecowaste Coalition and eco-tourism advocate Mr. Romano Santos of Make a Difference (MAD) Travel. They explained the rationale behind the zero-waste paradigm and ways to integrate it into our daily lives. The students of the Environmental Planning and Management demonstrated how to make eco-bricks and encouraged the active participation of students in the campaign.

This activity was part of the Alternative Classes Week in the Higher Education Unit.
