As part of its efforts in promoting environmental protection and climate change awareness, the San Juan City local government said it is now transitioning to being paperless during its committee sessions and hearings.
San Juan City Vice Mayor Warren Villa spearheaded the said initiative on Nov. 7 as he was thinking of a way on how the City Council can eliminate the use of paper during meetings to lessen carbon emissions through the use of technology.
Villa explained that with the use of technology, members of the council can receive and store files in their respective devices to make them readily accessible during their sessions and committee hearings. They can also edit, make notes and comments, and even agree, object and approve ordinances and resolutions online.
On Nov. 4, Zamora led the launching of the “Kuha sa Tingi” project at the San Juan City Hall, together with Greenpeace Philippines country director Lea Guerrero, Zero Waste campaigner Marian Ledesma, and Impact Hub Manila CEO and founder Ces Rondario.
