In partnership with Accenture Philippines, Youth for Environment in Schools Organization (YES-O) honored students through the Pascian Patrol: Operation XTRASH Awarding Program recognizing their environmental advocacy and contribution throughout the academic year at the school gymnasium, this March 23.

 

Students shared their experiences as Operation X-TRASH tested their capability to cooperate whilst nourishing ecological awareness and action during the X-TRASH event. In particular, Pascians demonstrated their dedication to a better world through their participation in the pursuit of the campus.

 

Accenture articulated its gratitude after earning 76,880.15 environmental points from recycled plastic, paper, and metals collected by the Pascians, now recognized as the Top 1 Environmental Champion through the X-TRASH Challenge Year 5.
