YES-On Environment: Promoting a Greener Community

Plastic here, plastic there, plastic everywhere. From cigarette butts to plastic grocery bags, and undoubtedly, it has consequences on mother Earth. Plastics are very useful in day-to-day lives. But, when will the people see the environmental pollution, wildlife deaths, health hazards, and other detrimental impacts of it? “Is now the ideal time to take action?” a query that was addressed by the Youth for Environment in Schools Organization (YES-O) of General Santos City National High School (GSCNHS), together with the school’s other clubs.

“Philippines generates at least 2.7 million metric tons of plastic waste,” Environment Secretary Maria Antonia Yulo-Loyzaga said. In line with this, on March 4, 2023, YES-O, together with other organizations — Supreme Student Government (SSG), Teen Support Group (TSG), MUSLIM Club, Girl Scouts of the Philippines (GSP), Boy Scouts of the Philippines (BSP), Senior Red Cross Youth+ (RCY SHS), Senior Red Cross Youth (RCY JHS), INTERACT Club of Rotary Dadiangas, Techno Geeks Club, and English Club, COSMOS Club, collaborated a clean-up drive with the theme

“PALIGID KO, LINIS KO”, in General Santos City National High School (GSCNHS).

This clean-up drive program aims to promote a greener environment, specifically to reduce the plastic waste that significantly affects the environment. It strives to ensure the sustainable maintenance and protection of the school and city’s environment, as well as to assist unwarranted spikes in disease rates caused by improper waste disposal. The school is home to many students with a mission of addressing the issue of solid waste. Moreover, plastic waste has been drastically affecting not only the Philippines, but also the rest of the world. It has been the diehard problem for everyone. Yet because of the cleanup drive effort of groups that support a greener community, like YES-O, this micro solution would have a macro effect in the betterment of the society. Folks, worry no more, for YES-O is here, ready to say YES-On environment.
