The document is a project proposal form from a group of students from the College of International Tourism and Hospitality Management. The proposal is for a project called "ECOPPORTUNITIES: sustainable bricks for a sustainable future" which involves making "Ecobricks" out of plastic bottles packed with trash to address waste management and be used for construction. The project aims to educate a local community on sustainable practices, reuse trash as building materials, and create a landmark structure to promote tourism. It would involve students working with community members to collect Ecobricks and build the landmark over 3 months.

I. Title “ECOPPORTUNITIES: sustainable bricks for a sustainable future”
II. Project Proponents
H1A students of La Salle spearheaded by Sir Renan Kasilag
III. UN Sustainable Development Goal/s Addressed This project proposal addresses these UN Sustainable Development goals:
Goal 3: Good Health and Well-Being The students believe that tackling the issue of garbage disposition in Barangay Sampaguita will also have a positive effect on the health of its residents. This is because the residents, having no other means of getting rid of their garbage, burn it in their backyards and risk their health.
Goal 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure The Eco bricks is an innovative way of building infrastructures because they offer a sustainable substitute for construction materials such as hollow blocks.
Goal 11: Sustainable cities and communities ECOPPORTUNITIES is a sustainable project. We are confident that the barangay can carry this out themselves and make their own projects.
Goal 13: Climate Action The project will be using mostly recycled materials (bottles), because of this, it will be able to lessen its contribution to the pollution since they would not be burned and will not end up on our oceans. The project may also serve as inspiration for other communities to have sustainable and green advocacies in the future.
Goal 14: Life Below Water Because the bottles are repurposed into a project in this program, there would not be a reason for them to end up in our oceans and other bodies of water.
Goal 15: Life on Land Because the bottles will be repurposed, there would not be a reason for them to end up on dumpsites or on our natural attractions. Goal 17: Partnership to achieve the Goal The project will help in promoting partnership in the community itself and partnership between the Lasallian community and the community in Barangay Sampaguita, building trust and camaraderie.
IV. Project Duration
The duration of the project is estimated to be done on the months of March to May, 2019. It will cover the three months of the second semester. When the project is approved, one day is allotted to inform the community residents on how to make the EcoBricks and its benefits in the form of a seminar. The rest of the weeks will be allotted for the making of the project itself.
V. Objectives of the Project This projects aims to:
a.) Conduct a seminar on how to make an EcoBrick and show its benefits to both the community and the environment b.) To provide ideas about sustainable development by conducting a seminar on the possible ECOPPORTUNITIES c.) To be able to produce an eye catching landmark that will distinguish Barangay Sampaguita from the rest d.) To show the essence of camaraderie and teamwork to the students of H1A by engaging them in the project making process e.) To repurpose the trash of the residents of Barangay Sampaguita as another means of construction material f.) To stop the residents from burning their trash by using them as stuffings for the bottles
VI. Project Description A. Background
Plastic? It’s everywhere and it unites us. Taking responsibility of one’s waste is the embodiment of Ghandi’s saying “Be the change you want to see in the world”. With the increasing number of plastic wastes here on Earth, the students came up to make EcoBrick. When we were conducting our Community Needs Assessment (CNA) the results were synonymous: Garbage was the main problem. Because the community members of Barangay Sampaguita are not visited by the garbage collectors, they seek alternative ways to dispose of their garbage and that way is by burning them, irregardless of its classification and hazardousness. The barangay practices good public cleanliness but because they burn their trash, they negatively affect the health of the residents and passerbys.
Thus, this affects both the health of the residents and the ozone layer and the oceans of the world. The eco bricks will not only get rid of the garbages, but it will also serve as an innovative and sustainable option for the community members to use in their other projects in the future.
What is an EcoBrick? An EcoBrick is a plastic bottle that is tightly packed with non-biodegradable wastes that can be found anywhere, most commonly is plastics. These bottles are then used as building materials to create sustainable homes, schools, and furniture. But why EcoBrick? First, it helps the environment to lessen plastic wastes that can be very timely in our era. Second, EcoBrick has endless possibilities, you can create trash bins, plant holders and fancy furnitures. Last, EcoBrick can be very sustainable as it helps the environment it also helps the community to grow. With the help of the residents of Barangay Sampaguita, EcoBrick can be a huge success on their community.
B. Justification As the future leaders of the hospitality and tourism industry, we must protect our nature. The present generation of plastic keeps on expanding at a noteworthy direct rate. Customary modern reusing frameworks can't keep up. Ecobricking, as a low-tech, open-source arrangement, spread inside a social media district virally — rapidly outperforming the rate of nearby plastic utilization. In the Northern Philippines, ecobricking spread through the entire school system, involving 250,000 students, within one year. Local Dumpsites in Bontoc closed within six months because of the dramatic reduction in municipal plastic output in the city. Numerous individuals, networks and organizations feel they have to depend on an outside office to bargain dependably with their plastic. Most customary reusing frameworks cost a huge number of peso. With EcoBricks there is no requirement for a major reusing plant or a monster Incinerator. Ecobricks permit individual and network activity (without the need of extraordinary aptitudes, gear, offices, accounts or political authorization), to change streams of plastic into valuable, zero-cost and inconclusively reusable building squares. People can begin right this minute to assume responsibility of their plastic: all that is required is a plastic bottle and a stick.
C. Benefits derived from the Project
a.) Showcase sustainable development b.) A sustainable and cost efficient construction alternative c.) Less pollution d.) Promotes a greener mindset e.) An eye-catching landmark for tourism f.) Trash is repurposed g.) The participants learn to work as a team
D. Coverage
This project will include the residents of Barangay Sampaguita, more specifically, the mothers and fathers of the household as well as other adults that may be willing to participate or volunteer to the cause, together with the students of De La Salle Lipa under the College of International Hospitality and Tourism Management (CIHTM) H1A.
VII. Methodologies
Upon the approval of the project proposal, the first initiative is to coordinate with the barangay on how the project will go about with regards to the location and storage, the available man power, the schedule they can work with and other assistances that they may provide. There is also a need to discuss how we are going to invite the residents and how to draw their attention to the project. The second initiative is to disseminate the planned project to the residents of Barangay Sampaguita with regards to its benefits, how it will go about and how it will be conducted. All this will be made possible with a seminar held at the allotted location of the Barangay officials where the expected participants will be the parents of the household as well as other adults who are willing to come and join the seminar. The third initiative therefore is implementation of the project proper, this includes the collection of the EcoBricks from both the residents and the students of H1A and the assembling of the landmark. The last initiative would be to evaluate the project to determine how successful it was and the lessons learned from the project making.
