II. Project Background:
According to a study, globally, humans buy a million plastic bottles per minute. Out of
all plastic consumed, 91 percent of plastic is not recycled and the rest land into landfills or
dumped in oceans endangering animals, human beings on this planet.
With the world currently suffocating in plastic, ecobricks are fast becoming a quick fix to
eliminating plastic waste whilst also providing a cheap and effective building material. There
are ecobricking communities emerging all over the world and various projects have been set
up to utilize the plastic within plastic capsules.
Indoors they are being trussed together and transformed into chairs or tables while
outdoors bonded with cob they can be used as building blocks for anything from garden
benches to houses.
Ecobricks are an empty PET plastic bottle stuffed rigid with un – recyclable plastics such
as food wrappers, plastic bags, plastic food containers or Styrofoam. It’s not a simple process.
The plastic has to be cleaned and dry and is best cut up into pieces so it can be packed
tightly into the bottles as they need to be a minimum weight so they are sturdy enough to
build with.
Toilet facilities among other things, is considered a basic requirement in every school
environment to cater for both emotional and physical needs of the students. Secondary
Schools, especially public schools experience a number of infrastructural challenges, one of
which is poor/ inadequate toilet facilities. Provision of toilet facilities is considered a privilege
rather than necessity by most school authorities, health and safety of the students. Most
attention is directed toward academic pursuits of the students despite the health and safety
of the students. Consequences associated with poor toilet infrastructure. These health
implications could be physical, emotional or psychological in nature, which eventually results
in diseases conditions.
Concerned by the increase of plastic bottles, the Presidents of YES – O and Science Clubs
decided to use it as key material for the said project. They come up with this project due to
the acute scarcity of toilets in the school, the Silangang Malicboy National High School,
Pagbilao, Quezon. It is observed that female students particularly, are facing difficulty in
school.
This project involves achieving a zero – waste lifestyle with an overarching principle that
by throwing less and using less, one is actually doing more for the environment.
III. Objectives:
1. To create awareness about the impact of climate change.
2. Engaging the teachers, students and other stakeholders to participate in daily
habits to reduce their carbon footprint.
3. To reduce the plastics in the school.
4. To provide a suitable infrastructure for natural needs for students and teachers.
5. To prevent pollution by reducing the need to collect new raw materials.
6. To prevent plastic waste from disrupting the ecosystem.
7. To develop an understanding of the concept pf ecobricks and how it may be
used.
8. To build up one’s knowledge and skills that help to develop long term green
habits and reducing personal waste consumption.
IV. Project Implementation Scheme
a. Financial and narrative report will be submitted by the proponents every
quarter.
b. Evaluation Report will be submitted by the proponents at the end of the school
year.
V. Monitoring and Evaluation
The monitoring and evaluation will be administering by the adviser and by the project
proponents. The project will start at October 17, 2019 until April 2020.
Students are requested to collect and clean their plastic bottles stuffed with plastic
wrappers as a part of the Solid Waste Management Program. These can be used as ecobricks,
which are alternatives fillers or bricks in the construction of walls, fences and other simple
structures.
Members of the Clubs are responsible for collecting the recyclable materials thru the help
of their adviser. Record of collected plastic bottles every week or month will be prepared by the
secretaries.
