Eco-fashion
show, exhibit and performances at the event center signaled the beginning of
week-long celebration of earth day in SM City Marilao. Over 200 people came to
participate in the fun filled activities for children, families and people of
all ages. 
With a
theme ‘Earth Day every day, everywhere ’SM City Marilao advocated the long term
environmental stewardship and reduction of waste through the trash to cash program
and three R’s- reduce, re-use and recycle activity. Shoppers lined-up to
surrender their recyclables in exchange to cash. Free eco-bags were likewise
given to customers to instill recycling and conservation as part of their daily
routine. 
The indoor landscape by Floridana’s
garden and the sound of chirping birds brought shoppers to contemplative nature
of reflection on the importance of saving the environment. Alongside, exhibit
from Haribon Foundation highlighted the endangered species and the need for
conservation of Philippine biodiversity. In the same manner, the messages of
recycling was delivered loud and clear through the art creation of Mr. Jojo
Cruz, who made miniature robots out of recycled materials. 
Capping off the celebration was an
eco-fashion show presenting clothes made from used materials. Models strutted
down the runway in recycled couture. Newspapers and garbage bags were
repurposed into cocktail dresses while ice-cream sticks and straws were weaved
into men’s clothing.
Earth Day celebration is an annual
activity of SM Supermalls as part of
its advocacy for environmental conservation. The week-long celebration in SM City Marilao is sure to offer exciting
opportunities for the general public on ways to engage in greener act. It will
also serve as a reminder to people of their role in saving Mother Earth.
