Each community event is a way for WWF-Philippines to meet with both its supporters and the larger conservation community of the Philippines. Present at the event was Pia Ocampo of Pure Oceans Philippines and Julian Rodriguez of Plastic Tides PH, both ocean conservation organizations involved in the fight against plastic pollution. Both speakers shared the work of their respective organizations, and recounted their own personal experiences in their quest to keep the planet clean for future generations.

Over the past year, WWF-Philippines has been meeting with the public to discuss the problem of plastics. In July, the pandas met with their supporters for the second Conservation Conversation, a series of talks aimed at educating the public on today’s biggest environmental problems, where the No Plastics in Nature Initiative was discussed in detail with WWF-Philippines’ supporters. Since then, the organization has continued to engage the public, educating them on the issue of plastics and its implication toward all life on Earth while discussing possible solutions for a cleaner tomorrow.

The past year has seen a vast movement against the single-use plastic problem. WWF-Philippines has recognized the threat of plastic pollution and works hard to empower individuals to take actions in their own lives towards a more sustainable future. Come by the next community event and find out how you can be a protector of our planet, too.
