Mother Earth Foundation (MEF) has partnered with the City of Batangas, to co-implement the Ecological Solid Waste Management (ESWM) program. Aside from raising the level of awareness of the people and establishing a proper waste management program, the partnership also aims to stop the plastic pollution “at the source”, and for the whole city to work together towards a sustainable and zero waste community.

Mother Earth Foundation (MEF) is a non-stock, non-profit organization actively engaged in addressing waste and toxic pollution, climate change, and other health and environmental justice issues. It is best known for its advocacy of Zero Waste through the systematic reduction and proper management of waste.
Since its founding in 1998, MEF has waged a nationwide campaign to train communities, schools, barangays (the smallest government unit), cities and municipalities on how to reduce and manage waste so that it brings no harm to public health or the environment and does not exacerbate climate change.
MEF helps local governments implement Republic Act 9003, or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act. Many of the communities and LGUs the MEF has trained have gained recognition as models of ecological waste management, winning various national, regional and distinct awards.
