Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Secretary Ramon J.P. Paje has urged the public to "go green†in celebrating Christmas.
According to Paje, besides Christmas and money, the color green should also be equated with “the color of the environment, which is one thing that Filipinos should also think of in this time of celebrations.â€
“This is the season when tons of garbage are produced after all the parties and gift-giving,†Paje said.
“We enjoin each Filipino to be responsible enough, especially in disposing their trash, so as not to wreak further havoc to our already degraded environment,†he noted.
For gift-giving, Paje suggests reusing Christmas wrappers or recycled paper and reusable bags or “bayong†to put gifts in. He also recommends giving live plants as gifts, and patronizing products of companies or organizations known to implement green practices.
