To further inspire a plastic-free and environment-conscious culture, marine life is painted on the canteen’s walls in vivid colors. The murals are creations of Association of Negros Artist volunteers given the theme “More Fish, Not Plastic.”The initiative was taken up by school principal Eiggy Duller Yap. He previously participated in Danjugan Island’s Marine and Wildlife Camp, which promotes eco-tourism and is run by PRRCFI.

The school canteen still needs support to become fully operational. According to the statement, chairs, tables and equipment are needed as the canteen will be used in school-based feeding programs. SWEEP has been working on Negros Island to partner with sari-sari stores in reducing plastic waste. Eight Wala Usik stores have been introduced on the island in the last two months.
