Less Waste Christmas Party

Last December 18, 2013, we, the 4^th year Mechanical Engineering students of the Don Bosco Technical College held an unusual Christmas party. It was an uncommonly party because unlike the typical Christmas parties in the Philippines where students bring unhealthy foods like fried chicken, pizza, soft drinks, and ice cream; we brought healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, pancit, calamansi juice, chicken and many more healthy foods.

Since we need to produce no waste in this party, we used stainless steel spoon and fork, and wash it after the program. Also, there is a rule that one student must only have one paper plate and plastic cup. And these are disposed properly in the recyclable trash can for well segregation of waste. The seeds of calamansi are buried in the soil so that it could grow as a plant. The bones of the chicken and the leftovers are feed to the dogs so that nothing would be wasted.

This activity is a result of what we have learned on our subject, Environmental Engineering, because this world is having more and more waste as time goes by. Every product that we are buying has an equivalent waste in it. Let us take care of the environment for the future generations and for us to have brighter tomorrow.
