Greenhills to hold massive recyclables collection event in November

Greenhills Shopping Center brings back a massive recyclables collection event in an effort to increase awareness on proper solid waste management among its customers, tenants, and residents of the nearby villages. Cash for Scrap 2: A Recycler’s Bazaar happens on November 6 at the Parking 1 along Ortigas Avenue, between 8 AM to 12 NN.  Some of Manila’s top recyclers, and representatives from local government units, as well as the neighboring barangays and schools, will participate in this event.

The first Cash for Scrap event was held last April 2011, and it was met with much enthusiasm.   Tons of paper and electronic wastes were collected, along with other items such as car batteries, busted bulbs, ink cartridges, and plastics.

Cash for Scrap was intended to be a one time event.  But, Greenhills Shopping Center got a lot of positive feedback, and there were many calls for a repeat.  People from as far as Manila City came with their recyclables.  Greenhills Shopping Center was able to collect about forty crates of busted light bulbs—some of these were fed to a mechanism that separates the mercury component of the bulbs from the glass.  

This quarter, Greenhills Shopping Center invites an even more diverse group of recyclers, which would add to the number of waste categories. Event partners include: GARC, Philippine Plastic Inc. Assoc., Philippine Recyclers Inc., Polystyrene Packaging Council of the Philippines, Genetron, HMR Envirocycle, Trust International Paper Corporation, Dolomatrix, and MGHS.

Interested individuals may bring the following waste products for recycling:

Used ink cartridges
PET bottles and plastic bags
Used batteries
Used but clean Styrofoam
Used oil
Electronic wastes (old phones or laptops)
Paper
Busted bulbs
Used cans and metals

Other organizations that sell quality recycled products would also be participating: Kilus Foundation, producer of bags and other accessories from doy packs; Gifts and Graces, producer of products from old newspapers; and Earthday Village producer of bags and raincoats from used tarpaulins.

The event is co-presented by the National Solid Waste Management Commission under the Department of Environmental and Natural Resources, Barangays Greenhills and Wack-Wack, Solid Waste Management Association of the Philippines, and OCLP Holdings, Inc. (OHI) an Ortigas company.

Cash for Scrap was the very first recyclables collection event under the Solid Waste Management Program of OHI and was conceptualized to promote waste segregation at source, help turn wastes into cash, while preventing these from ending in the landfill. For more information, you may call Ms. Mona Lauraya at 721.05.72 local 290 or visit www.Greenhills.com.ph.

NEW YORK, October 28, 2011 – Avon Products, Inc. will celebrate the culmination of its 125th anniversary year on November 2 at the Avon Foundation for Women Global Voices for Change Awards Gala. Global champions working to end breast cancer and domestic violence and the winners of Avon Voices will be announced in a gala event to be held at the Marriot Marquis in New York City’s Times Square.

Avon Foundation for Women Global Awards Recipients
Every year since 2001 at its annual gala, Avon recognizes individuals and organizations for their leadership in the causes that are most important to women. This year, Avon Foundation For Women Gala honorees span the globe, honoring organizations that improve access to breast health care and assist victims of domestic and gender violence.

Receiving one of the two 2011 Global Community Advocacy Champion awards is our very own Women’s Crisis Center based in Quezon City for its life-saving work to support victims of domestic violence. The Center provides crisis intervention, counseling, temporary shelter, education and training services and serves as secretariat for the National Network of Family Violence Prevention Programs. Theresa Balayon, Women’s Crisis Center Executive Officer, will accept the award. Avon Foundation for Women President Carol Kurzig, our very own Lea Salonga, and Australian Artist of the Decade Delta Goodrem, will present the award.

Avon Voices
Also at the Gala, the Avon Voices talent search will conclude with the announcement of the two Avon Voices winners – one an Avon Representative – who will be chosen from among the top ten finalists, based on a combination of their live performances. Joining the roster of ten finalists is Manila’s lone representative, Joy Loria, alongside the finalists from Brazil, Lithuania, US, Canada, UK, Thailand Venezuela and Russia. Joy is on a head-to-head battle with co-Avon Representative Selena Gittens of Canada.

The winners of the Avon Voices talent search will record an album that will be sold through Avon distribution channels in select markets, and include an original song written by Grammy and Golden Globe award winner Diane Warren and produced by seven-time Grammy winning producer/engineer Humberto Gatica. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this album in 2012 will go to the Avon Foundation for Women. Additionally, Avon Voices will make a $25,000 donation to the Avon Foundation in honor of its commitment to advancing women's empowerment around the world.

Avon Chairman and CEO Andrea Jung, Fergie, Natasha Bedingfield, Ashley Greene and more than 800 guests and performers from 39 countries will attend this star-studded celebration, which is expected to raise more than $2.3 million for the Avon Foundation for Women.
