Parents urged to teach kids on proper waste segregation | The Manila Bulletin Newspaper Online: "Secretary Ramon Paje made the appeal as the agency begins its campaign against garbage problem in Metro Manila by intensifying its information and education campaign with the distribution of easy-to-understand campaign materials in Metro Manila’s villages.
“As the family is the most basic unit of the society, it is but a must for proper ecological solid waste management to start at the households,” Paje said.
The DENR launched a number of information materials on solid waste management where Metro Manila’s local environment officers also pledged to distribute the materials to households, in coordination with barangay officials.
During the launch, some 5,000 copies of “Ecological Solid Waste Management for Households,” “Makakalikasang Pamamaraan ng Pamamahala sa Basura,” “Bawasan Ang Basurang Itatapon: Magsegregate,” “Solid Waste Management Made Easy,' and “Proper Segregation of Solid Waste,” were distributed to the participants, including the 12-page “Basura Monster” coloring book written by TV news personality Christine Bersola-Babao."
