3 Green Days: A Graduation Legacy for Reforestation Act- A workshop and Eco-bazaar to Promote Sustainable Practices

Quezon City, December 15– The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in collaboration with the Forest Management Bureau (FMB) is excited to announce the upcoming series of workshops, aptly named "3 Green Days," scheduled to take place from February 15 to 17, 2024, at the DENR compound in Visayas Ave, Quezon City.

The highlight of this event is the second leg of the tree-planting workshop, which will be held at the FMB open ground. Notably, a successful preliminary activity earlier this year saw over a hundred Natural Science (Environmental Science) students from Ilocos Norte actively participating. They planted over 200 fruit tree seedlings generously donated by the North Luzon Renewable Energy Corporation (NLREC) as part of the Graduation Legacy Reforestation Act initiative.

The "3 Green Days" workshops align with the broader understanding that trees and plants play a vital role in enhancing air, water, and soil quality.  Trees planted for the Graduation Legacy Reforestation Act will be the youths’ living legacy to the environment and future generations. 

Furthermore, scientific research has consistently demonstrated the myriad benefits of green spaces, including stress reduction, mental relaxation, improved respiratory health, enhanced socialization, and the provision of critical habitat and ecosystem services.

For this project, the organizers “Hope to pass on to the current generation resilience in the most basic and traditional way like planting fruit trees.”

Building on this momentum, the upcoming event, supported by both the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and FMB, aims to engage graduating students from nearby universities in planting fruit trees that thrive in urban settings, even within large containers. To further promote sustainable living, an accompanying eco-bazaar will feature alternative energy providers, ecological products, and earth-friendly innovations.

FMB, DENR, and the organizing committee will provide more fruit trees and conduct workshops on nurturing seedlings in urban environments. The organizers anticipate attracting thousands of participants eager to contribute to environmental conservation.
