SIÑURA, PORAC – With the continuous effort to promote environmental practices among students, Yokohama Tire Philippines, Inc. (YTPI) donated color-coded trash bins and introduced Green Curtain to Siñura Elementary School (SES) in Brgy. Siñura, Porac, Pampanga last December 13, 2024, through the collaborative work of the Environmental Management Section (EMS) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Team.
YTPI executives Eden Mago, Public Relations and General Services (PRGS) Section Manager and Reynante Legion, EMS Section Manager were present during the turn-over ceremony. They were warmly welcomed by SES Principal Lyn Deang and other school officials.
During the event, EMS Supervisor, Shaira Sta. Catalina, conducted a Waste Management Seminar for the SES students, which was followed by a brief orientation to Tree Planting, led by EMS Supervisor, Erick Payawal.
Moreover, YTPI introduced the concept of green curtain or living curtain as sustainable solution to provide shade and reduce indoor temperatures. By using climbing plants trained to grow vertically over a trellis made from reusable materials, green curtains create a natural barrier that blocks sunlight and lowers heat absorption in the buildings, lowering the need for artificial cooling systems such as air conditioning.
