The use of Ecobricks is gaining ground in the Philippines with a handful of green advocates believing it could help the country reduce plastic pollution, especially in water bodies. “In the beginning, it was more like for fun because we loved the oceans. But it was from there that we realized we had to do more for the environment. Then we also had to help people [living near the seas and oceans] because they were part of the ecosystem or environment,” said Raf Dionisio, a social entrepreneur, co-founder of different social advocacies, and volunteer for Gawad Kalinga Enchanted Farm in Bulacan, in Filipino.
