More than 30 high school students who are focal persons of their school-based Ecological Solid Waste Management System (ESWM) actively participated in a two-day seminar-workshop in Climate Change Adaptation, Mitigation and Its Impact to People and Environment on November 14-15, 2019 at the Session Hall of the Sangguniang Bayan in Trento.
Spearheaded by the Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (MENRO), the two-day seminar-workshop aimed at educating the student officers on the pressing issue of Global Emergency and how each one could help mitigate the problem amidst the recurrent environmental adversities that the world and the immediate localities have been experiencing today.
The Municipal Administrator, Celine Paula Calvez graced the opening of the activity and challenged each environmental advocate to be serious with the plight and become good stewards in reviving the life of the earth.
While Forester Ludivina Cornella, MENRO, presented the overview of the activity, the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction Management Officer (MDRRMO) Virgilio Dela Cruz expounded on Disaster Risk Reduction Management, Prevention, and Family Disaster Preparedness.
Cornella in the succeeding sessions focused her presentation on the real face of Climate Change and their possible solutions.
Before the plenary was brought to an open forum, the participants signed a petition to stop the furtherance of Global Warming and rather help prevent massive biological extinction in present times.
Topping the two-day seminar workshop was the introduction of the participants to Eco-Brick Making followed by the giving of recognition upon submission of their output.
In closing, Cornella hoped that the participants would effectively relay their knowledge to their respective schools upon their return.
