Diana Pableo conducted a waste management project in her community to address the lack of proper waste segregation. She surveyed households and found that most did not separate biodegradable and non-biodegradable trash. Over two days, she visited and informed eight households about the importance of proper waste segregation. As a result of her small project, awareness was raised in the community and barangay officials promised to provide separate trash cans to further encourage proper waste management practices.

2. Need of the Community
In my community people lack knowledge in proper
waste segregation. Not all households have
separate trash cans for biodegradable and non-
biodegradable wastes. Yet the barangay officials
haven’t done anything about it. This is alarming
and dangerous to everyone’s health especially
with the environment.

3. Goal
Equip households with necessary
knowledge in proper waste
segregation, developed and
nurtured among them waste
management skills.

4. Project Activity
1.I conducted a survey and I found out that
mostly a particular household do not
separate their waste, they only have one
sack or trash can for biodegradable and
non-biodegradable wastes.
2.Then I started informing several
households. Overall, I visited and had
informed 8 households about waste
segregation .

5. Step by Step Planning
1. I prepared a survey questions and give it to several
households in our barangay.
2. I had informed our SK Chairman about my project but
sadly, I was not able to get a response.
3. On October 27, 2012 was the first day of my
implementation. I was able to let 4 households to answer
the survey questions and informed them about proper
waste segregation.
4. On October 28, 2012 was the second and last day of my
implementation. I was again able to let 4 households
answer the survey questions and informed them about
proper waste segregation.

6. Result
• After my small project, I was able to raise awareness
among the people in my community(8 house hold) on the
importance of proper waste segregation. There are 8
households that was informed about proper waste
segregation. The barangay officials also promise that they
will provide budget for trash cans and give it to the people of
the community. We also change the people’s views, that its
never too late to rise against ignorance. The 8 households
was just the start of our fight for saving Mother Earth.
