Archival mulls livelihood-based approach to solve plastic waste

Cebu City Mayor-elect Nestor Archival is calling for a more sustainable solution to the city's persistent plastic waste problem— one that goes beyond periodic cleanup drives.

- 

Despite regular efforts, Archival noted that plastic waste remains a major challenge in Cebu City. While City Hall employees and volunteers participate in cleanup activities, many residents remain disengaged.

Archival recognizes the need for a more sustainable approach beyond the quarterly cleanups organized by the local government.

He emphasized the importance of public education on proper waste disposal, stressing that improper garbage management often results in clogged waterways and localized flooding.

Archival is advocating for a grassroots strategy, urging barangays to lead in raising awareness about the importance of responsible waste management.
