College students from Kalinga State University shared their knowledge about waste management with Grades 7โ12 students of Saint Theresitaโs School of Tabuk at the covered court on July 11.
Ms. Linesa B. Acasio, Ms. Gem Heart G. Alimag, Ms.Mary Jane M. Bautista, and Mr. Ramon S. Mata Jr., college students from KSU, taking up Bachelor of Secondary Education major in Science, led the session on solid waste management.
They introduced Republic Act No. 9003, also known as the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000, the Philippines' national law promoting systematic, comprehensive, and ecological solid waste management. The law encourages applying the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) as well as composting and recovery, enforcing source segregation, prohibiting open burning and dumping, and phasing out unsafe landfills.
The students also discussed the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) that focuses on solid waste management, mainly SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production, which aims to ensure sustainable use of resources.
After the discussion, they distributed survey forms for students to answer, helping assess what the students learned.
The activity ended successfully, giving Theresians a deeper understanding of proper waste management and its importance in protecting the environment.
