MAKATI CITY —The Makati City Government, through its City Library Office, recently held reading sessions in public schools this July as part of its ongoing "Green Stories, Greener Tomorrow" advocacy campaign. A total of 325 parents and schoolchildren participated in the sessions, where they learned about the importance of reducing waste, reusing, recycling, conserving resources, and caring for the environment through age-appropriate stories. The program aims to instill environmental awareness in young learners, helping them realize that their small actions can make a meaningful difference in protecting the planet.
Extending Lessons Beyond the Classroom
The lessons continue at home, where students practice waste segregation and document their efforts for their teachers. Families are supported by the DepEd Rezbin app, which helps them identify recyclables, track donations, and earn redeemable points, making environmental responsibility a shared family activity. By nurturing these values early, Makati is raising a generation that cares about sustainability, one story, one child, and one small act at a time. The city government plans to expand the reading campaign to other public schools across Makati as part of its continuing efforts to promote both education and environmental stewardship.
