Innovative and collaborative action on plastic waste
Excerpt
The challenge of cleaning up and rehabilitating Manila Bay is a wake-up call, and along with the tons of plastic waste are the social, economic, and financial implications that are beginning to surface. Without implementing and strengthening regulatory mechanisms to penalize waste mismanagement behavior among consumers, establishments and LGUs, our bodies of water will still end up being polluted and our ecosystem adversely affected whatever alternative material we use. Ultimately, it all depends on policies and actions crafted with innovation and collaboration.
