The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) on Friday urged school publications to put up a “green page" dedicated to environment reportage.
In an interview with GMA News after a meeting with campus paper editors and moderators, DENR special concerns director William Ragos said the “green page" need not be an actual page, but may come in the form of a regular column or newspaper space.
Manila Baysavers convenor Dante Pasia, who convinced the DENR to hold Friday’s gathering, told GMA News that campus papers — brought home by most students in all levels nationwide — possess excellent potential as a vehicle for environmental causes.
“The best vehicle for informing the parents, the Filipino people, is the school paper," Pasia said.
Aida Ajero, campus paper moderator of the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Marikina, said an environment page will make an impact on her students as well as other residents of her city, who were among the hardest hit by typhoon Ondoy in 2009.
Explaining that it can mobilize students and residents to protect their city’s environment, Ajero said, “It is not only important but it is also very useful." — GMA News
