Alternative to relief goods in plastic: binalot!

Plastic clogged the drains, relief goods in plastic will clog the drains even more.  The Acacia Waldorf school in Sta.Rosa, Laguna shows us an alternative: packing relief goods (food/meals in particular) using good old banana leaves...

Photo from Dale Diaz shows 500 meals of rice, tuyo and hardboiled egg in "green" packaging.

Other alternatives (taken from calls of help from We Philippines as reposted on facebook):  used (but still usable!) blankets, bedsheets, pillow cases, towels, curtains and tablecloths to pack goods with.

Let's talk hope.

We've already started talking to each other again as one people. We're looking each other in the eye, regardless of family background, school, occupation, religion, socio-economic class. Let's keep talking to each other. Let this dialogue be a source of healing for ourselves as individuals, and as Filipinos. Para sa bayan!
