The Christmas season has always been a favorite among Filipinos. Compared to the rest of the world, we celebrate the Yuletide season the longest. This is because we think that the longer we celebrate, the more joy we feel in our hearts with our loved ones.

In this week’s episode, Modern Living TV strengthens the holiday spirit as we feature stores that advocate for sustainability.

In an episode from Season 9, it was revealed that the Philippines was the third highest plastic pollutant of oceans in the world, next to China and Indonesia. This study by the Wall Street Journal woke several Filipinos as our culture of buying tingi-tingi items was said to be a contributor to this large percentage of plastic pollution.

This is why alternatives to plastics are preferred to avoid harmful effects that may affect thousands of human lives.

In this segment, Bianca Gonzalez-Intal explores a local store that sells items made from bamboo. This includes toothbrushes, mugs, tumblers and the like. According to the storeowner, these items are the perfect gift ideas for Christmas due to its unique style and functionality that our loved ones can definitely enjoy.
