Various people with bags\u003cbr/\u003eLocal communities around the world are celebrating Earth Day on April 22, 2008. \u003cbr/\u003eThe yearly event is an opportunity to promote responsible living, through recycling and conservation.\u003cbr/\u003eOne small group in the Philippines, is using discarded advertising billboards and transforming them into trendy fashion accessories.\u003cbr/\u003eFrom small satchels, to custom made laptop bags, all are being made by the group, with the support of Earth Day Network.\u003cbr/\u003eEver wondered what happens to an advertising billboard after it is used?\u003cbr/\u003eIn Manila, where billboards have mushroomed across the capital, enterprising locals have come up with a novel way of recycling the advertising boards.\u003cbr/\u003eWith some measuring 150x150 feet (13x13 metres), and not being bio-degradable - a quick solution had to be found.\u003cbr/\u003eIn the past, a some ended up as roofing for shanties dwellers, but most went straight to the dumpsites.\u003cbr/\u003eNow the Earth Day Network, a group involved in promoting environmental citizenship, has found a use for the huge sheets vinyl.\u003cbr/\u003eOnce the sheets are salvaged, they are cut into strips and sewn into a wide selection of fashionable bags.\u003cbr/\u003eBing Girl Clemente, from the Earth Day Network, says some of their clients are the same companies that printed the billboards.\u003cbr/\u003eBy doing this, the group is encouraging private companies to responsibly recycle their advertising products.\u003cbr/\u003eOne things is for sure, the project has now grown considerably, with orders coming from as far away as Japan.\u003cbr/\u003eClemente says some of the larger tarpaulins have to be used as roofs, because they are simply too big.\u003cbr/\u003eHer first project was to convert  political banners, after the country's 2004 national elections.\u003cbr/\u003eThe group then donated the bags to typhoon victims, in central Philippines.\u003cbr/\u003eSoon what was supposed to be a small project, turned into a thriving operation.\u003cbr/\u003eNow the group has 13 sewing machines in their bag-making facility.\u003cbr/\u003eIn addition, they are training two young people on how to use the sewing machines.\u003cbr/\u003eThe small assembly line can produce as much as a hundred bags a day. \u003cbr/\u003eClemente says their approach to business is about empowering local women and protecting their environment.\u003cbr/\u003eA fast-food chain is using the recycled bags for food deliveries, instead of using ordinary plastic bags. \u003cbr/\u003eSome companies have even ordered custom-made laptop bags for their employees.\u003cbr/\u003eChristopher Soriao, one of the workers, says he has learnt a lot about how to look after his community.\u003cbr/\u003eWith the supply of tarpaulins seemingly endless, Clemente hopes a lot more companies will come on board, and turn what otherwise is just waste into useful, recycled materials.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Earth Day Network is a non-profit environmental and conservation organisation.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description'
