The World Wide Fund for Nature (WEF) has recognized Barangay Lapasan here for its effective solid waste management program.<\/p>\n
Barangay Chairman Julito Ogsimer on Wednesday said the WWF likely noticed their community-driven efforts, particularly the Sitio SWM Warriors volunteer group that promotes proper waste segregation and disposal.<\/p>\n
“Their presence encourages residents to refrain from dumping trash in non-designated areas, especially in canals and drainage systems,\u201d Ogsimer said.<\/p>\n
The barangay installed trash traps in partnership with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources to prevent waste from flowing into Macajalar Bay, protecting marine life from pollution.<\/p>\n
WWF donated trash bins and a garbage collection vehicle to enhance waste management in the area.<\/p>\n
Despite these achievements, Ogsimer acknowledged challenges in one of the city’s most populated villages, noting some residents still don’t cooperate with cleanliness efforts. (PNA)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
