World Clean and Green Week is celebrated every year from September 17 to 23 to raise awareness about environmental protection and sustainability in the Philippines. It encourages everyone from students to local communities to take small but meaningful steps to preserve nature. This week reminds us that caring for our environment benefits both people and wildlife.
The Importance of Going Green
This celebration highlights the critical need for waste reduction, tree planting, and clean surroundings. Schools, offices, and local governments organize activities like cleanups, recycling drives, and eco-friendly campaigns. By participating, communities learn how simple actions can prevent pollution and maintain a healthier environment.
VisMin Leading the Way
In Visayas and Mindanao, local groups and schools actively join the week-long celebration with coastal cleanups, river rehabilitation, and environmental workshops. These initiatives inspire residents to adopt sustainable habits like reducing plastic use and conserving water. The region demonstrates that collective effort can make a tangible impact on the environment.
World Clean and Green Week serves as a reminder that protecting our planet is a shared responsibility. Whether through cleanups, educational campaigns, or daily eco-conscious choices, everyone can contribute. Together, Filipinos can ensure a greener and healthier environment for future generations.
