To beat plastic pollution, the Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (MENRO) of Milagros joins the nation in celebrating Philippine Environment Month 2025 with the theme

“Ending Global Plastic Pollution — Together We Can #BeatPlasticPollution.” In support of this campaign, the LGU Milagros has linked its scholarship program to an environmental initiative. Each of the 683 scholars was required to submit five eco-brick bottles, each weighing approximately 500 grams. This collective effort resulted in the collection of an estimated 3,414 eco-bricks, equivalent to approximately 1,707 kilograms of plastic waste repurposed. An eco-brick is a plastic bottle densely packed with used plastic to create a reusable building block that achieves plastic sequestration. The concept behind eco-bricks is to utilize and upcycle post-consumer plastic, giving it a second life instead of letting it pollute the environment. These bricks can be used for eco-friendly construction, such as garden furniture, benches, and even walls. This initiative not only supports the educational aspirations of Milagros youth but also reflects the municipality’s commitment to sustainability. #ZeroWasteMilagros #PhilippineEnvironmentMonth2025 please click link for more: https://www.facebook.com/61562703070794/videos/2413300029049119/
