At the Tzu Chi Great Love Village in Barangay Liloan, Ormoc City, Leyte, plastic recycling is routine for residents, including scholars of Tzu Chi Ormoc, the Leyte chapter of the international humanitarian organization.

Their regular collection of empty plastic bottles and cans or other reusable waste demonstrates their commitment to responsible waste management and environmental sustainability.

After gathering the recyclables, the scholars, youths and volunteers segregate and sort the collected materials, ensuring that every item is categorized for reuse and recycling.

Their commitment is driven by the belief that small, consistent actions can lead to significant environmental change.

Likewise, they believe that collective effort can create a lasting impact.

By working together, they are taking meaningful steps toward preserving the planet and encouraging a more sustainable way of life.
