EARTH INTERNATIONAL DELEGATES 2018 RCMFI AND SAGIP KABATAAN DIRECTORS & OFFICERS 53 Advocacy: We are the only creatures in the history of our planet that creates ‘rubbish’. It’s a human thing. In nature, there is no such thing as rubbish. Animals use what they no longer need for different purposes. Australians use 4 billion plastic bags a year and we have one of the highest rates of tree clearing in any developed country. If each individual follows the 5 Rs - RETHINK, REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE, RESPECT, we can start by changing our everyday lifestyle in small ways to make a big impact. • Say no to plastic bags – BYO reusable bags • Use alternatives to plastic – bamboo toothbrushes • Refill your own drink bottle, bring own cutlery, straws • Get a compost bin – reduce food waste • Plant trees to purify the air/provide homes for animals affected by de- forestation • Donate to conservations protecting endangered animals As Miss Earth Australia 2018, I wish to educate children about plastic and food waste by visiting schools, team up with groups at university to ap- proach businesses in making environmentally friendly choices (go plastic free, use alternatives), volunteer at wildlife parks, host charity events to promote awareness and encourage the local community to get involved in various activities such as clean up days and markets where trash can be repurposed into treasure. Let’s be plastic free!

Opening of the Meeting (No document) 1. The meeting was opened by the hostess, Stephany Dianne Stefanowitz, the Miss Philippines-Earth 2012 and Miss Earth Air 2012. She reminded the meeting that the Dugong was at high risk of extinction, and after the First Meeting of the Signatories in Abu Dhabi in 2010, the present gathering was another milestone in international efforts to protect the species. 2. After leading the meeting in a rendition of the Philippines’ national anthem, Ms Stefanowitz introduced Ms Theresa Mundita Lim of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources of the Philippines (DENR). 3. Ms Lim introduced the other people on the podium, namely Ernesto D. Adobo Junior, the Deputy Minister followed by Nelson P. Devanadera, the Assistant Director and Ms Donna Kwan of the CMS Secretariat. She welcomed all the delegates to Manila and expressed her delight and honour at hosting the meeting. 4. Ms Lim related the story of Joanna, the injured Dugong calf. Unfortunately all the efforts to try to save the animal were in vain, because, as was later discovered, its digestive tract had been infested with parasites. However, lessons were learned from the experience.
