The University of Baguio Supreme Student Council (SSC) recently participated in a meaningful initiative that champions sustainability and environmental care. On August 23, 2025, the SSC proudly took part in UB RIECO’s Project Gr.O.O.M. M.E., a greening project that aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Project Gr.O.O.M. M.E.: A Call to Action
The project, themed “CALL FOR PLANTERS (preserving life through action, nurturing trees to engage, restore, and sustain),” aimed to promote sustainability and environmental stewardship among UBians. The SSC’s involvement in the project demonstrates its commitment to creating a greener, healthier future for generations to come.
Planting Seeds of Sustainability
During the event, which took place from 8:00 am to 10:00 am at the basement of the University of Baguio Multilevel Parking near the UB Centennial Building, SSC members planted seedlings and promoted green practices. This hands-on activity not only contributed to the project’s objectives but also raised awareness about the importance of environmental conservation.
