  The statistics are staggering: every year, the Philippines leaks over 300 million metric tons of plastic waste into the ocean.

Securing Tomorrow’s Supply: SM City Baguio Turns Rain into Resource

-
Image
Baguio City, Philippines —  As water security continues to challenge communities across the Philippines,  SM City Baguio  is showing how innovation and sustainability can flow together. Through its rainwater treatment facility, the mall treats rainwater to convert into potable water, helping secure tomorrow’s water supply for its operations. Nestled in the highlands, SM City Baguio showcases how natural abundance can be harnessed sustainably through its rainwater treatment facility. Baguio City experiences frequent rainfall but limited water resources. Water supply from the Baguio Water District is rationed, with some neighborhoods receiving water only twice a week, which they use to fill up their water tanks. When this runs out, residents depend on deliveries from private water companies.  SM City Baguio’s pioneering system captures, treats, and stores rainwater to potable standards, producing up to 150 cubic meters of safe drinking water per day, with the capacity ...

  In a world where technology continuously influences how people live, learn, and connect, one question remains urgent: how do we keep education human?
