Impact Assessment: 1. Fifty (50) new communities/school partner groups with buildup capital of 3,204,150.00 Motivating environmental institutionalism into our school system. Making both the teachers & community members environmental extension service providers. We also empower the women sector as mostly members of PTCA are wifes and housewifes. 2. 30 head of family members in dumpsite communities has now a starting capital of 187,500.00 3. 30 head of family members of river communities will have a working capital of 81,250.00. They can now venture in other sustainable ecosystem livelihood in hol lowblocks making,

bamboo seedling propagation, vegetable gardening, etc., and become stewards of the river landscape. 4. 90 head of family members in bamboo producing community now has a working capital of 250,000.00. 5. 120 Nipa producing community members has now 375,000.00 to venture more to improve social and economic resources.

6. Rural communities and the urban poor in landfill & dumpsites perfect synchronicity for a common goal exchanging resources and collaboration both natural & human labor, promoting rural l ivel ihood. 7. 5,116 estimated individuals that would be directly involved. How could we make their involvement sustainable? 8. What if this "force savings" wi ll be use as capital investment for the group to venture into coffee/cacao buying station or processing plant. This will be the beginning of stakeholder-entgrepreneur or stakeholder

The Campaign, the Solution, the Vision:We would like to emphasize the raising of Quality Seedlings. Implementing Quality or

“Q” Seedling Standard promote livelihood opportunities to scavenger communities in dumpsite and landfill areas as it would require compost soil as potting medium a component to meet quality seedling standard. It would only take 30,000 bags of compost soil to raise 3 million seedling pots, a volume our city landfill can easily produce. At 50.00 pesos per bag means added income to our scavenger’s community.

It would only take 300 individuals to finish 3 million seedling pots in 30 days at a conservative output of 300 pots per individual. Prospective workforce already present in every school PTCA - Parents-Teachers Community Association , where active members mostly are women. And, it would only take 150 communities to organize and establish a school tree-plant nursery to accommodate 20,000 seedlings, an area available in rural community school grounds and campuses.

The establishment of 150 school tree-plant nurseries would also help generate income and livelihood opportunities to bamboo producing communities. Taking into consideration 100 pieces of bamboo pole per school or 15,000 pieces of bamboo materials required for construction.

Nipa as indigenous roofing material will also be encourage. Allocating 1,000 pieces for every nursery site would also help create market demand for nipa product increasing income and livelihood opportunities for nipa producing communities.

Implementing this concept therefore, will make the poorest among the poorest sector of society active actors for change. Not only they will find income but they themselves has the ability to become silent stewards for the environment. More importantly, environmental education will not be the job for teachers alone but a unified responsibility for the whole community.
