strengthening solid waste management

The last time I went home to Baguio, I noticed a clean and green city of pines. I heard over the radio that the local goverment of Baguio is strengthening its campaign for a clean and green "Summer Capital of the Philippines". I was really delighted with the news.
At home, I also noticed that our trashcan is not fully loaded. All plastic and every waste that can be recycled are separated in one place, sorted according to its types. Then i learned that they're making money out of those trash. Our neighbors are also doing the same. It's nice to know that many and many people are getting involved in drives to restore the environment.
I hope that the greater Manila area will be fully informed and be aware of the environmental issues and do their share in saving our mother earth.
The MMDA could be a strong means to push for environmental programs because of the political will that the chaiman possess.
