Business groups join greening project

I read this article on Manila Bulletin that Federation of Philippine Industries (FPI) a group of 37 industry associations and 65 corporate members, companies have participated in the Green Highway Foundation. The said organization is on a process of embarking on an environment conservation advocacy. They aim to target the local government officials to implement a have strong advocacy on environment protection. FPI believes that the environment should not be abused.
The Green Highway Foundation, which is chaired by Francis Chua, plants trees along the highways every five years to make the greening of highways sustainable. FPI believes that
It is about time that the industries work hand in hand with non-governmental organizations and local government units to protect and conserve the environment. they aim to atleast clean the air that commuters breath, not only that they are also combating pollution in all fronts: air, water, water scarcity, over extraction, biodiversity loss, climate and garbage.
I totally salute the action that FBI is taking lead on, it only shows that thess companies under this organisation those not focus alone on their finantial status but also they give importance to what is happening in their environment.they have this strong social responsiblity within their businesses.
