The Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (Penro) of the Iloilo Provincial Government in collaboration with the Regional Environmental Education Network (REEN) 6 today launched and distributed Information and Education Campaign (IEC) materials to secondary schools in the province.
The IEC materials are about Solid Waste Management, Vermicomposting, Responsible Mining, Mangroves, and Rainwater Harvesting Technology.
Provincial Administrator Raul Banias, who represented Governor Arthur Defensor, Sr., said the distribution of IEC materials to schools is timely “because we are in the midst of an environmental crisis.”
