With the aim of Saving Our Ocean, Lupel Corporation Vice President and General Manager Mitch Pellicer thought it wise to come up with an educational AVP for everyone, especially for children, discouraging all Filipinos not to throw any form of garbage to our lovely seas. As of the latest survey, the Philippines ranks as the third country that contributes to the plastic dumped into the world’s oceans every year. It is sad to note since our amazing oceans serve as a home to many incredible creatures that have been part of our lives ever since the world began. The AVP will fully show you how blessed the Philippines is in terms of the oceans God has given us. Nevertheless, despite that fact, some still possess that I-don’t-care attitude in throwing used bottles, containers and many more to the seas and not to recycled bins. These items instead of polluting the seas can be recycled and made into more useful items.
