What to Do With Old Clothes You Can’t Donate in the Philippines

If you are decluttering your closet and end up with clothes you cannot donate, H&M Philippines’ garment collection program is a practical option. You can drop off old clothes or textile waste at their stores, even pieces that are already worn out. Items collected are sorted for reuse, reworking, or recycling instead of going straight to landfill.

Get rewarded for recycling with Basic Environmental Systems & Technologies, Inc.

Cause

Like this photo? We can do our part to help keep our planet this beautiful.

The past decade has shown that Climate Change is real. Helping the environment felt like such a lofty topic like I’m such a miniscule person in the world – how does it matter? It does because every step, minor or major, is a step to taking care of Mother Earth.

Eco bricks: Saving the planet one bottle at a time

Cause

As I mentioned in my previous post, the Philippines is the THIRD biggest producer of plastic pollution in the ocean. That is a horrifying statistic. We have to change that.

Say hello to my latest obsession. Eco bricks are plastic bottles filled with non-biodegradable material. This is a way for normal people to recycle plastic in their own homes easily.

Plastic Straw Alternatives in Manila

Cause

I did it at last. Late last year I finally bought a metal straw for myself. This is a BIG DEAL because not all plastic straws can be recycled. Feel like your trash doesn’t make a difference in the world? I was shocked to find out that our tiny country is the THIRD biggest contributor of plastic in the ocean IN THE WORLD. This is alarming! Millions of straws are used every year and dumped in the ocean and for what, 5 minutes of convenience? C’mon people, we need to be better than this. Using a metal straw is a SIMPLE way to be part of the solution.

I take my love for travel to another level by bringing it with me this holiday season. If you’re a hoarder like me, you have a lot of maps from your travels. Why not do something nice with them this year?

Goldilocks for Blondes??

Bath and Beauty

I get me some One Naturales loot from my friend Tin. (Thankie Tin!) One Naturales is a Filipino brand of beauty and body products that are organic and environmental friendly (yay!).

I opted to try their shampoo aptly called “Goldilocks for Blondes”. The name is extremely ironic for a Filipino brand and whose current market is well, Filipinos. I laughed when I knew about the name since it was coincidental that Tin gave it to me and well…I’m blonde. Haha

E-Jeepney Ortigas Route

Eco Related

I'm an Ortigas rat and was surprised to see the "route marker" near Malayan Tower. How fantastic is it to have the e-jeepney in Ortigas? Yay! A new jeepney route and it's an e-jeepney to boot! O-ha! Winner! I didn't see the actual jeepney though nor have I tried it yet.

I for one like walking around Ortigas so I'm not sure if I'll be taking this jeep. If the route took me to Shang, I would love to take that jeep!

A more environmental mode of transportation = awesome! =)

An eco-friendly pen + a picky pen user = happy me

Eco Related

Yes, even with pens I’m picky. It has to be:
(1) black
(2) ballpoint
(3) at least 0.7
(4) doesn't smudge

So that's a no to sign pens and small ballpoints. Heck, I'm "blind" remember, so I need em thick. I've wanted to get a refillable version to do my small share in saving the environment (link) but I haven’t found one that agrees with my preferences. However, I did come across the Treehugger pen that might just compensate. Apparently, its 95% environmental friendly and for every pen you buy you help restore our stores. However it doesn’t say how. Haha

Anyway for a mean time pen, I’m pretty happy with it. =) If it helps the environment, I’m all for it. =)

P20 at all National Bookstore outlets.

New: the Echodli

Eco Related

I've heard about this from Ms. Jeannie of the Echostore and I'm glad they finally launched it. What made me ecstatic was the inclusion of Wrapsody!!! During Owee's first trip to CamSur last year, she got hooked on these and went on panic mode to save the box for reference. During our CamSur trip this January, we scoured to find them.

My oh my it's a good day for you Owee cos they're finally within reach. In fairness, they do taste yummerific. =)
