#TravelResponsibly: Pick One Piece of Trash and Save One Life
The Earth is primarily made of water and in
its vastness are living things where many get its livelihood. With news that
mankind is slowly destroying the ocean, we as #Ecowarriors are reminded to take
care of it hence, we celebrate May, every year as Ocean Month to be aware of
our responsibility and as proclaimed by the Department of Environment and
Natural Resources or DENR.
In 1995, then-President Fidel V. Ramos signed
the Proclamation No. 75 which mandates the Department of Environment and
Natural Resources (DENR) and the Department of Agriculture through the Bureau
of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (DA-BFAR) to spearhead the activities of MOO
(Month of the Ocean) in collaboration with the different sectors of the
society.
Relatively, this year marks its 16th year
in our country. The month-long celebration aims to highlight the importance and
significance of conservation, protection, and sustainable management of Philippine
coastal and marine resources.
As described in the DENR website, this
year’s theme, "STAND UP, SAVE OUR REEFS" emphasizes the cause and
effect relationship of our actions towards the environment and the ecosystem
services and goods that the oceans provide to create a flourishing community.
True to our vision and mission to conserve,
preserve, and protect our environment, Eco Hotel Philippines is also launching
a campaign called #travelresponsibly.
Under the #travelresponsibly campaign are
activities that will persevere our desire to save Mother Earth by traveling
responsibly.
This campaign also aims to educate our
nation particularly the younger generation, travelers, tourists, that picking
one piece of trash can save one life; could be a human being, an animal, or
even save the lives of plants and trees. Hence the activity name, "pick
one save one."
In a succinct manner, the "pick one
save one" campaign is a clean-up drive in our properties in Bohol,
Palawan, and Siargao. The #travelresponsibly campaign is also for our local
properties in Makati, Tagaytay, and Mataasnakahoy, Batangas through a series of
tours with our fellow #ecowarriors.
On June, we will be opening our properties
to the public as a “refilling station” for shampoo, conditioner, and bath gels.
The said items were made according to our strict compliance: ingredients should
be eco-friendly and hypoallergenic.
Having to share all these information, are
you willing to join this campaign? Come and support us! After all, we are all
under one horizon.
