DENR to politicos: Use reusable campaign materials

The Philippine Star

January 16, 2013 | 1:13pm

MANILA, Philippines - Environment Secretary Ramon Paje on Wednesday called on candidates to be mindful of the environment and avoid using non-biodegradable materials for their campaign paraphernalia.

â€œWe are calling on all well-meaning candidates to be mindful of the environment when they hit the election campaign trail. They should put waste avoidance and reduction at the heart of their strategy to win in order to minimize trash and its impact on the environment and humans,â€ Paje said.

He pleaded to candidates and their supporters to avoid "nailing" election paraphernalia on trees and asked them to avoid spoiling the environment with campaign trash.

â€œWe have seen death and damages wrought by typhoons in various parts of the country. It is about time candidates vying for national and local posts to think about the environment and consider the impacts of environmental degradation,â€ he said.

In last Sunday’s column previewing Game Three of the UAAP men’s basketball Finals, it was mentioned that “while the rivalry has been bitter and intense from coaches down to players, let’s hope there will be no rancor, only handshakes, when the smoke clears…tears will be shed, in joy or frustration, but let’s remember, regardless of the outcome, everyone will be better from this experience of a lifetime.”
