Green Living in the Philippines
Over the years, local personalities and corporations have answered the call for green renewal. The list includes award-winning actress Chin-Chin Gutierrez, non-profit organization Philippine Green Building Council (PhilGBC), and Alveo Land, an Ayala Land company that is developing one of the most eco-friendly developments in the Philippines: Treveia.

Equally renowned for her work as a silver screen star and as an environmental advocate, Gutierrez was named as one of Time Magazine’s “Asian Heroes” in 2003. She appeared on the cover of the publication where her efforts on expanding ecological awareness were cited. Aside from tree plantings and beach clean-ups organized by her group Mother Foundation, Gutierrez also conducts workshops on how Filipinos can better care for the environment. – source: Manila Bulletin
