Carlos Hilado Memorial State College (CHMSC) Greening CHMSC Task Force and Group of Environmental Socialist in collaboration with Philippine Science High School (PSHS) Western Visayas campus embarked on a tree-planting and growing activity, in celebration of the National Environmental Awareness Month, last November 23 in CHMSC Jesus Fermin Campus in E.B. Magalona.

A hundred of Odling and Kalumpit seedlings, donated by Regie Sy, were planted in the various areas of the campus.

“Hopefully, this would pave way for support towards other efforts here in Negros. We aim to promote a sense of environmental importance in the sense that we want other people to think about the environment a little bit more actively, instead of just thinking about how the environment should be cared for,” said PSHS Grade 12 STEM student Aaron Philip Dael of Project SCALE (Service Creativity Action Leadership Enhancement) and a of PSHS.

“We need to get out there and do something about the problem we have about deforestation,” he added./WDJ
