(Contributed Photo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Saipan Fil-American Lions Club and the Saipan Mighty Dolphins Leo Club donated 12 trash bins last Monday, Sept. 23, to Marianas High School, in a bid to get the young started early when it comes to protecting the environment and keeping a clean and healthy surrounding.<\/p>\n<p>The bins, made of refurbished and recycled empty oil drums, were received by MHS principal Eric Evangelista, with some students and Leo club members.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a Lions and Leos, we are trying to address the needs of our community,\u201d club president Eden Mercado said. \u201cIt is easy to start in school knowing that children spend most of their time there and treat the school as their second home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bins will be positioned in designated areas inside the school to help manage trash.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis will not just help maintain the cleanliness of the campus but also mold young minds on the proper disposal of garbage on and off campus, which will eventually lead to a healthier environment,\u201d Mercado said.<\/p>\n<p>About 20 Lion and Leo members participated in the weekend turnover of the recycled bins. Without electric tools, the members had to open the drums manually using only a hammer and a chisel.<\/p>\n<p>Club secretary Mario Mayuga also thanked their partners in the project. \u201cWe would like to thank Pacific Rainbow (CNMI), Inc. for the paint donation and USA Fanter Corp. Ltd, Star Water, and Auto Marine Inc. for the drums,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Saipan Fil-American Lions Club and the Saipan Mighty Dolphins Leo Club donated 12 trash&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[365,23730],"class_list":["post-308759","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-environment","tag-mhs","tag-saipan-lions-club"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/308759","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/32"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=308759"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/308759\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=308759"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=308759"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=308759"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
