Trash, garbage, or litter doesn’t only affect our land surface but also our water, air, and health, and now, as we celebrate the National Clean Up Month this September may we always bear in mind that this trash can be moderated and properly manage if we help in clean-up activities by picking wastes and disposing it properly,” said DENR 6 Regional Executive Director Livino B. Duran.
The month of September was designated as the National Clean-up Month and the week of September 17–23 as the World Clean and Green Week in 1993 by Presidential Proclamation No. 244. Volunteers and environmental group supporters from all across the country come together to engage in these events/activities by cleaning their own neighborhood, school grounds, parks, rivers, coastal, and other regions.
Cleaning is a team effort. To improve our country, we must all work together. I, you, and We should work together to bring out the beauty of the environment around us. A little assistance is going a long way. Let's speak up for the younger generation and serve as good role models for them. Let's clean, now.
