Year after year since the 1990’s, the Philippines
participates in the worldwide celebration of Earth Day. The Philippines ’ unique celebration is
that it is a coming together of government, civil society and churches to
highlight the country’s environmental health and renew their partnership to
work for the common good.
Since 1999, the partnership has evolved
into a loose coalition called Earth Day Network Philippines with a Secretariat that
directly coordinates the Network’s members from local government units to
non-governmental organizations, from business corporations to churches and
academic institutions and from big organizations to individuals who want to do
something for the environment. Through
Presidential Proclamations, Earth Day has become a permanent environmental
holiday of the country and has become a fixture in the national environmental
consciousness.
For Earth Day 2013, the proposed theme is
to have a simultaneous Eco Fair across all SM Malls which will highlight Eco
friendly products or innovations by our tenants or by cottage industries/local
inventors.
