Last October 25- 26, 2019 the Philippines made history! The very first Climathon, a climate solutions hackathon by the UK based organization Climate-KIC was hosted by the city of Pasig; together with HiFi (City Enabler) of the College of St. Benilde, SCALE Solutions & Future Proof (Organizers).  The climathon happened simultaneously around the world in over 100 cities and across 46 countries- this event was focused on getting both the public and private sectors to collaborate in finding solid waste and mobility solutions that affect our climate. 

In this episode, we will talk to one of the winners whose solution will be implemented in Pasig City. Team Sari-cycling is composed of six original members namely Niels Nable from Brgy. Bagong Ilog Pasig City, Juvien Galano from Bacoor Cavite, Prisando Francisco from Brgy. Pineda Pasig City, Bramwell Gonzales from Brgy. Sta Lucia Pasig City, Railey Montalan from Marinduque and now living in Mandaluyong City (was not able to join the interview because he was at work). They also have a new addition to their team who will be joining them during the implementation-Clowee Licsi from Brgy. Sto Tomas Pasig City. 

Listen to what solution they pitched to the panel of judges, their experiences and learnings during the climathon and perhaps you will be joining us next year with a great idea to help your city.
