It is very timely that TESDA has favored the mandate of banning the single-use plastics in all TTIs and OUs. This has been an environmental hazard that needs to be addressed immediately. Based on research, plastic can outlive humans because it will not decompose easily in landfills. For instance, an ordinary plastic of bottled water will take almost 500 years to degrade.
TESDA-Wangan National Agricultural School (WNAS) shows full support to this directive. This movement will help to alleviate the ecological problem because this single-use plastic is a big chunk of the waste crisis we have today. From the name itself, single-use plastic is a disposable plastic that is designed to be used once only then thrown away if not being recycled.
Among the initial steps, we take in response to this directive are the following:
Our Vocational School Administrator Felipe C. Hiquial Jr. drafted a memo to ban the single-use plastics. These include bottled water, plastic bags, disposable eating utensils (spoon, fork, glass, etc.), among others.
We created an awareness campaign thru print ads and placed them in designated areas per qualification. Also, at the guardhouse about the impact of using single-use plastics on our environment.
We take advantage of the social media platform (TESDA-WNAS FB Page) to hasten the awareness campaign.
We recommend using eco-friendly or biodegradable materials.
