The beauty of Earth never fails to mesmerize us yet we continue to destroy it. Imagine waking up in a world filled with plastic, pollution overlaps and question arises. Until when? Until when can we enjoy the fresh air, green scenery, and pristine waters? A century? Maybe 5 years from now? Or a year? Time is running out and we must make a move.

     Did you know? According to a 2020 assessment by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Philippines. Only 40% of packaging waste in the Philippines gets collected, and only 9% of plastic garbage is recycled. With an estimated 0.75 million metric tons of poorly managed plastic entering the ocean each year making the Philippines as the third largest contributor. (World Bank Group, 2021).

If this continues today then what will happen tomorrow? 

     Bananas are one of the largest crops in the world and banana leaves are the best option to replace plastic packaging for foods. It is accessible, cheap, hardy, water-tight, clean, lightweight, healthy, and attractive. Plus it is 100% environmentally-friendly and sustainable. Together, let us reach out for famous fastfood chains in the Philippines such as Jollibee, McDonalds, Chowking, Mang Inasal, and more to switch to Banana leaves as a food packaging alternative.
