Environment group lauds ‘waste-less’ Nazareno 2021
EcoWaste Coalition praised Nazareno devotees for a “waste-less” show of faith on Saturday, January 9, a far cry from the huge amounts garbage that characterized the Feast of the Black Nazarene in previous years.
“Despite the absence or lack of ‘please don’t litter’ signs and garbage bins, most devotees who gathered in Quiapo yesterday chose not to leave any trash behind,” said Jove Benosa, zero-waste campaigner of EcoWaste Coalition.
“The respect for the environment shown by most devotees prevented yet another ‘trashlacion’ from degrading the time-honored feast of faith,” Benosa added.
