The exposition started at 8:30 a.m. and ended at 3:30 p.m. It is for fifth to sixth grade educators and students and will be held until April 14.
Teachers said the expo is a perfect opportunity to teach and reflect with the children on the importance of a healthy and clean environment.
At the booth for CUC, its public information officer Rose Ada-Hocog said they were exhibiting two things: the new 150-watt LED streetlight compared to the 250-watt mercury vapor streetlight; and two, how a pre-paid meter works along with its advantages and disadvantages.
Ada-Hocog said the new LED lights will cut down power costs by half.
Other booths promoted clean water, coral preservation, submerged cultural resource preservation, wildlife preservation, wetland preservation, environmental cleanups and many more.
Lina Dimaano of Tan Holdings “Going Green” program said their program encourages the community to help in their monthly cleanups. She said in return, their companies help pay for repairs and restoration projects. One good example, she added, would be the Susupe park. Tan Holdings Going Green project helped clean and restore the badly vandalized buildings at the park.
“Whether we help restore or clean up an area, we always stick by our ‘three R’s’ rule: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle,” Dimaano said.
