A VETERAN school administrator, Rhodora Sacramento, has been waging a War on Waste (WOW) since 2016, leading programs to minimize garbage by convincing her students to stuff plastic wrappers into bottle bricks, giving them their own personal eco-bags, and persuading them to throw used bottles and cans in convenient wireframe baskets. Collected bottles and cans are then sold to recyclers.

Sales proceeds reached P2,500 in just the first three months of the program, enough to fund one of the school organization's Christmas parties.
