College of Management and Accountancy (CMA) students, Presidential Scholars, and student journalists open up the doors to a greener future as they take part on Araullo University – PHINMA’s “The Green Project 2.0”. The said event was done in accordance with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources’ (DENR) National Greening Program (NGP) held at Sitio Alorma, Doña Josefa, Palayan City last July 28, 2012.
Led by Forester and Chief Protection Officer of CENRO-Cabanatuan, August V. Fariñas, the AU students, specifically, members of Junior Marketing Association, Junior Philippine Institute of Accountants – AU Chapter, Hospitality and Tourism Management Society, Junior Banker’s Club, Presidential Scholars, ViewPoint, and faculty participated on the tree growing initiative as part of the 430-hectare wide reforestation of the said location. On that day alone, a total of 500 Narra seedlings were planted on a hectare of land through the joint efforts of CMA and CON students, faculty, and CSDL staff.
Started last July 13, 2012, the project aims to plant 5000 trees across a ten-hectare area over a year. According to Darren J. Gonzales, Student Welfare and Community Involvement (SWCI) Unit Coordinator, the Green Project is an advocacy of the University not only to raise environmental awareness but also to encourage Araullians to actively join the crusade for a greener country. This project also supports the world-wide campaign against global warming and climate change. Jillian Vergara
