WORLD FAIR TRADE DAY 2008

Salay Handmade Paper Ind., Inc. (SHAPII), a fair trading company located at Salay, Misamis Oriental, Philippines, celebrated World Fair Trade Day simply and quietly, It shared with the community this year’s theme through posters at its showrooms that stayed up during the month of May.

Two (2) important campaigns associated with the WFT day celebration were launched on May 16 in a quick ceremony at the company ground attended by no less than the SHAPII family. One campaign is the drive to use the SHAPII Greenbags (see picture) instead of plastic bags for shopping. This way we would be able to partake in saving the world from undesirable plastic trash.

Another campaign recommended the use of broomsticks (see picture) in cleaning outdoors, especially in ridding the yard of dried leaves. This is a health care measure for the people in the community from getting back pains in the sweeping jobs. All of these because SHAPII cares for it’s people and the environment.

While sharing the worldwide programs to create a global awareness based on justice, economy and sustainability, SHAPII continues its advocacy for environmental consciousness by religiously attending to its environmental compliance activities ? its Wastewater management system.
