INTRODUCTION
We used to have fresh air to breath, greenish surroundings and taste
clear and clean water. Nowadays, tables have turned and we can see a big
difference from a clean into a polluted environment. As we all know, we are
facing a lot of environmental issues such as floods, climate change, melting of
the polar ice caps and pollution. May it be from air, water or land. The main
cause of these problems are the wastes that are improperly thrown.

Restore what was lost, we aim for the surrounding that’s greenish and
full of grasses and tall trees. Those grasses that have turned into cemented
roads, those trees that are placed on such a beautiful area have turned into
enormous buildings. Deforestation is the main cause of this, people who illegally
cut down trees just for their own convenience mostly results landslide. These
trees can prevent floods, it can fight against global warming, so if people
continue todo the same thing all over again, it would disturb the balance of its
system, causing so much loss not just with our environment but also with our
way of living.

As students of Don Bosco Tarlac, we are planning to think of a program

that reduces the chance of those problems from growing. Therefore, we thought
of a program that not only helps our own community but also the world we live
in. It will also serve as an inspiration in other communities to come up with the
same activities in order to maintain a clean and green environment.

II. PURPOSE
Our purpose in our project is to help reduce waste in our surroundings and
to recycle most of the waste like plastics and metals for a better purpose as we
sell it to the junk shops. As we sell this waste, we use the money earned to buy
plant/tree seeds for them to plant in their surroundings. We want to help each
and every barangay to stay clean and have a surrounding that is beneficial to
each and every person that resides in that barangay, since we want an
environment free from liters and an environment full of trees.

We aim to provide awareness of how much we are wasting every day. We

want to make a statement that we could reuse this waste as we recycle it. This
is for us to teach them and make it as “persuasive” as possible for them to
participate.
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
We are going to have a competition every month. Each barangay are
task to maintain the cleanliness in their area, and they are task to reduce the
waste by collecting and selling them itin a junk shop. The residents of each
barangay are required to participate in the said event. At the end of every
month, one barangay will be announced with the cleanest environment and will
earn a point. Then at the end of the year, the barangay with the most points will
be awarded with a prize for the efforts they made throughout the year.

The money from selling the waste materials will be collected each month;
the money will be used to buy seedlings. These seedlings will be equally
distributed to each barangays and will be planted on open areas around the
barangay. This will help us to have a good environment as we progress to have
a better future.

It deals with different programs that raise awareness in different aspects,

from a clean-up drive activity, into the fund raising scenario and lastly the tree
planting, all of which are connected with each other. Through the clean-up drive
activity, another activity came out of our mind, which is to raise funds from
selling the waste that has been collected, from these collected fund, we came
up with the tree planting program.

Residents would benefit a lot, mainly because these programs are

implemented directly towards their benefits. They would learn how to recycle
and segregate waste properly since not all of them are aware of it, especially
the children at their young age, it is better for them to learn these things and of
course be more aware of our nature, on how to take good care of it. They would
also learn how to plant seedling, they will appreciate how difficult it is to plant,
protect and watch over their seeds as they grow.

IV. OBJECTIVES
“Clean-Up Drive” aims to raise environmental awareness in different
communities. Below are the lists of the additional objectives of our program:

 To enhance the capabilities of the community by promoting commerce

and trade; to achieve or practice the conduct in waste management and
recycling industry.
  To promote waste reduction, recycling and reuse and create public
awareness on waste management and environmental concerns.
 To improve outdoor recreational activities of the community
 To help reduce the greenhouse gases and fight climate change;
improving the quality of the natural environment.
 To set one’s mind on the well-being of future generation.

V. METHODOLOGY
Clean-Up Drive

It is the program wherein each barangay would participate in cleaningtheir

environment, this would be done weekly and at the end of the month, the
barangay that observed cleanliness in their community would be recognized
and would earn a point for future use. At the end of the year, the barangay with
the highest number of points earnedwould be rewarded and will receive a cash
prize that could help in the improvement of their area.

Raising Funds

In line with the clean-up drive program, the money from selling the waste
materials will be collected each month, these funds will be used to buy
seedlings and will be equally distributed to each barangays.

Tree Planting

It is a program that advocates the appreciation of our nature. When

seedlings are distributed, each barangay is responsible in planting them on
open areas that surround their place. This program would be a great help in the
increase of the quantity of trees in our locality, this would serve as an alternative
solution for those destructions brought by the uneducated people who keep on
doing things specifically deforestation, from which it destroys the beauty of our
surroundings.

VI. PROJECT NEEDS

For the success of this project, we are in need of funds, an amount that
will range from 5,500-6,000. We have indicated the specific needs or the
materials to be used in this project, a total amount of 5,400 is the estimated
amount to be used in order to carry out the said project, which is the “Clean-Up
Drive.”

VII. TIMETABLE
This would serve us a contest for every barangay, we are to give a point
for the cleanest barangay every month, and at the end of the year we will award
the barangay who received the highest number of points, from which we are to
give them a cash prize that would serve as their fund for other activities that
would help in the improvement of their place. On December, week before the
year ends, they are given a week to plant the seedlings given to them, and
make sure that these would seedling would grow for future benefits.
Learning the proper ways of waste management is one of the important things
to consider when addressing the never-ending problem of different
communities regarding waste pollution. Unfortunately, there are still people who
still fail to practice these ways that's why there's a lot of candy wrappers,
plastics, papers, sachets and cigarettes on the streets that are just left to be
blown by the wind or washed away. And as we all know, a dirty environment
caused by waste pollution can lead to diseases and also the destruction of our
environment since it is one of the reasons why floods occur.

One of the ways to address this problem is to organize clean up drives in the
community. These clean up drives should be done regularly and also people
needs to be encouraged to participate. However there are times that barangays
seldomly organize clean up drives and there are also times that people aren't
aware or sure if there are clean up drives that are implemented in their area
that's why they can't participate. In order to see a positive change in the
environment, we want to promote the importance of clean up drive and call the
attention of the barangays to strictly and regularly implement this, and also to
encourage the constituents to actively participate in those kind of programs and
to make cleaning their environment a habit without waiting for someone to tell
them to do so.
