The City of Navotas is now one step closer in achieving its goal to become Zero Waste City. This video showcases the testaments and messages from selected barangays of Navotas, the Bagumbayan North (BBN), Tangos North and Tanza 1. The Acting Chief of City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO), EnP Yzabela Nazal-Habunal talks also about how the partnership with MEF helped the City in achieving its high compliance on Waste Segregation thru IEC Campaign and other activities like the dry-runs and regular monitoring of waste collection.
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.
