Volunteer We are looking for seatizens to help us with campaigns, such as researchers, writers, bloggers, graphic designers, and illustrators. Opportunities for fieldwork are rare since our projects require specific skillsets that we look for within our internal network. Send your CV and sample works, if applicable, to info@savephilippineseas.org . The best way to volunteer for SPS is to download our toolkits and start a revolution in your own community. Please keep us updated on your progress! You can also leave us a message for other inquiries and proposals: Are we manta be?

Change the Current promotes climate education for climate action. Our Projects Environmental Education and Seatizen Participation Change the Current Goal Integrate environmental education activities in the national curriculum and instill eco-friendly practices in school and at home Background Change the Current (CTC) began in 2020 as a series of infographics on climate change issues in the Philippines. It evolved into an education and leadership program for adolescents in 2021 (CTC 1.0), for college students and young professionals in 2022 (YCTC), and for educators in 2023 (CTC 2.0). CTC 1.0 was in partnership with the Department of Education-Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Service (DepEd-DRRMS) and UNICEF Philippines, YCTC with the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative and the US Embassy in the Philippines, and CTC 2.0 with UNICEF Philippines and DepEd-DRRMS, with support from The Marketplace and Kiehl's Philippines. The 2024 workshops are being supported by Ashoka Globalizer and private donors. How We Made Waves 535 participants in three years Supported 24 children- and youth-led projects with grants worth ₱445,000 Supported 20 educator- and adolescent-led projects with grants worth ₱300,000 Developed the Earthducation Library, a curated platform of instructional materials on climate change, marine litter and waste management, and marine ecosystems.

< Back Earthducation Goal Train at least 1,500 educators by 2027 Timeline Ongoing Earthducation began in 2016. It was designed for educators to (i) increase conservation literacy; (ii) instill an appreciation for nature and the immediate environment, and (iii) teach basic and transferable skills to pursue environmental education. From 2017-2019, SPS implemented Earthducation workshops in Los Baños, Bantayan Island, Malapascua Island, and Boracay Island. Change the Current (CTC) was created as a project under Earthducation to focus on climate change issues.

< Back Circularity Assessment Protocol Goal Conduct research in Metro Manila using the Circularity Assessment Protocol (CAP) Timeline 2021 In 2021, we served as the local implementing partner of the University of Georgia's Jambeck Research Center to conduct field work in three cities within Metro Manila. Our work included product and packaging assessments in stores across the city; material type characterizations for consumer plastic items; cost analysis of reusable products and alternatives to plastic available in the city; visual audits of recycling contamination; identification of public waste and recycling collection bins; and litter transects.

< Back Reimagine Recycling Goal Reduce solid wastes leaking into the environment by building the capacity of grassroots initiatives to scale their operations in waste collection, upcycling, or recycling Timeline 2019-2024 Reimagine Recycling (RR) began in 2019 as a forum to bring together recycling initiatives across the nation looking to elevate and scale their solutions for plastic pollution. In 2020, we moved this forum to a virtual platform. Recognizing the need for financial support to help grassroots initiatives scale, we added skills-building, project pitching, and sub-grant components from RR 2021 to 2024. We brought project leaders together for the RR Summit to learn more about each others' work and build a nation-wide network of Reimagineers. Participants 2019-2024: 126 grassroots initiatives with circular economy and waste management solutions participated in the awareness-raising and skills-building program How we made waves Over PhP3 million worth of sub-grants to support 16 projects 487,026.61 kg of waste collected for recycling (2022-2023) Partners Coca-Cola Far East Limited and Coca-Cola Foundation Philippines Previous Next
