Zero waste advocate EcoWaste Coalition called on schools to conduct eco-friendly Brigada Eskwela events scheduled from June 9 to 13, 2025.
In a statement on Friday, the group said that ecological Brigada Eskwelas will help in creating an environment free of pollution for students as the school year opens on June 16.
'We enjoin our schools across the country to conduct this unique expression of the Bayanihan spirit in the most eco-friendly manner possible to avoid garbage and pollution, which may pose health and environmental risks during and even after the Brigada Eskwela,' said EcoWaste Coalition national oordinator Aileen Lucero.
EcoWaste Coalition encouraged participating schools and individuals to follow a set of reminders: Reduce generation of preventable trash. Reduce release of environmental toxins. Reduce exposure risks from hazardous chemicals. Reduce emissions and residual waste
'An ecological Brigada Eskwela will also contribute to the advancement of the human right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment," the coalition said. —Jiselle Anne Casucian/LDF, GMA Integrated News
