B YOU Thursday (Bring Your Own Utensils Thursday)

For the past months of operating the school canteen, there is a


significant increase with the garbage collection of the school. Despite the
number of trash cans labelled in order for the garbage to be segregated
correctly, the community failed to segregate the trash.

As a way to address this concern, the school will implement the


BYOU Program.

Objectives:
1. To support the call of Pope Francis on taking care of the
environment through Laudato Si
2. To promote the value of love for the environment by not collecting
trash once a week
3. To ensure food safety and hygiene by bringing their own utensils
4. To develop the value of responsibility

Guidelines:
1. Every Thursday, students and employees will be asked to bring their
own utensils (spoon, fork, lunch box, and tumbler) to school. These
will be used when they buy food and drinks in the canteen.
2. The canteen concessionaires will not use paper cups, bamboo
spoon and fork every Thursday. They will not sell food and drinks to
those who will not bring their own utensils.
3. Students and employees may also bring their own food for lunch if
they do not wish to buy from the canteen.
4. Food delivery from any provider like Maxim, Food Panda and the
like will not be allowed. Food from outside (carenderia or streetfood)
will not also be allowed entry. Only food placed in your own lunch
box is allowed.
5. The Maintenance Department will not provide trash cans all over
the campus every Thursday. Students are asked to provide their own
eco-bag for their own trash and bring these at home.

This program will be expanded upon the evaluation of the school


administration and other stakeholders.
