MANILA, Philippines — Filipinos should reduce plastic use as the country remains a top contributor to ocean plastic pollution, producing at least 2.7 million metric tons of plastic waste annually, an environmental group said yesterday. “On this World Environment Day, we urge every Filipino to take action: reduce plastic use, participate in cleanup drives and support sustainable practices,” said Makakalikasan-Nature Party Philippines national spokesperson Geraldine Lanusa Perez. The Philippines has demonstrated its commitment to global climate action by submitting its climate adaptation plan to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, she said. Comprehensive natural resource management strategies are necessary to address these crises, she maintained.
