All Saints` Day which falls on November 1st, is observed by Catholics around the globe, and it is a time when people come together to commemorate their lost loved ones. In the Philippines, the day is, however, a festive occasion that brings families together at cemeteries throughout the nation. Yet these gatherings also create piles of garbage, thus Tzu Chi volunteers have been promoting recycling on this day since 2010, hoping local residents will pitch in to do their part in keeping our planet clean.
11月1日諸聖節,是全球天主教的節慶,這天, 是大家一起紀念過世親人的日子,不過在菲律賓,這一天全家人會齊聚在墓地,一起度過這個節日,因此會製造很多垃圾,慈濟志工從2010年開始,每年都會到墓地推動環保,希望鼓勵更多人,也能為地球盡心力。
