BARANGAY STO.NIÑO, QUEZON CITY FIGHTS PLASTIC POLLUTION

In the ongoing fight against plastic waste, Quezon City’s Barangay Sto. Niño has become a shining example of environmental awareness and ingenuity. By launching a program that gives fresh fish as incentive to residents in exchange for plastic waste, they not only tackled the issue of plastic pollution but also addressed the lack of food in their community.

Community leaders also plan to start including rice as additional incentive with the help of donations supported by the local government. This initiative showcases the power of finding creative solutions to tackle complex problems. It is a reminder that even in the face of formidable environmental challenges, there’s always room for ingenuity and collaboration. Barangay Bagong Silangan’s creative approach conveys that communities can innovate and be involved in the fight for a cleaner, greener future.
