Green Talk
The world is in our care. That’s the message behind green activism and eco advocacy. We wanted to make our environment cleaner, greener and safer for our future generations. This is a message that resonates well with young people. We tap the 3 High Schools in Compostela and ask 15 representatives per school and let them converge in the NLE Multipurpose where NLE’s President and CEO, Pete Delantar, being a green advocate himself, conducts a talk about Waste Minimization and Energy Conservation together with Prof.Katsuyoku Matsuura of Tokyo, Japan as the guest speaker.
Young people feel valued when we emphasize their part in saving this world and making it a healthier place for everyone. After all, green living is about changing behaviors and taking leadership in adopting and promoting habits and practices that will be sustainable, to make a real difference that will impact our lives on many levels - personal, social, economical and environmental.
