Eco Warriors on Household Collection

We deeply appreciate our Eco Warriors for their effort to collect plastic waste and other items from households in Puerto Princesa City. They are truly becoming partners with the City Solid Waste Department, and this is a great development from where we started two years ago! They are now making a difference by creating more partnerships with households all around town., as they also educate them on waste segregation at source. Proud of you Eco Warriors! #ecokolek #ecowarrio

Eco Warriors Design their Own Uniforms

This sheet shows how we co-create with Eco Warriors in designing their second batch of uniforms. We give them a sheet with various options so that they can choose its features which include colors, pockets, hoods, and types of cloth. They can also verbalize their suggestions by freely writing what they think is best!

Eco-Warriors Join Puerto’s Clean Up Drive

In line with Typhoon Odette’s rehabilitation efforts in Puerto Princesa, the City Government initiated a Clean-Up Drive inviting volunteers to participate on January 8, 2022.
