It’s so nice to know that Smart has initiatives towards the environment. They have tree- planting projects wherein they have planted more than 100, 000 trees. They also explore alternative energy sources by using wind power, they use biofuel and fuel treatment units to decrease carbon emission. Likewise, they limit the use of air- conditioning operations from 7:00 a.m.- 7:00 p.m., implement “smoke- free” environment, convert all lighting fixtures to energy efficient light bulbs, and they adopt a company wide PC hibernation practice. Smart is indeed an environment- friendly company.
Part of Smart’s initiatives is also the
dissemination of awareness to its employees and one perfect example for this is the Earth Day Concert, which was made possible through the cooperation of the Public Affairs group. Joey Ayala who sang his songs led the Earth Day concert together with the talented students of Multiple Intelligence International School. These songs not only made the concert remarkable and learning but also the elaboration of Joey Ayala in each song made it very inspiring. Each song depicts the world of today, the environment, the people and life’s reality. The concert was very interactive because he taught us to sing some of his songs and everyone participated. Actually, when I knew that Joey Ayala would be part of the concert, I was looking forward to it. I am a fan of Joey Ayala and I am familiar to his music. It was my fourth day in Smart as an intern then and it was my first time to watch him in a live performance. I was very happy not only for the reason that I was able to see and meet new faces but because I was also able to know the real and exact interpretation of his songs and I got to understand them better.
Moreover, one of the main highlights of the event was to feature
the paintings made by the 12 kids of Multiple Intelligence International School. They were so active and very much engaging. Before Joey Ayala sang his song, they would exhibit their paintings and explain the story behind each painting. Their paintings are about the ways on how to save the environment. As a matter of fact, their paintings became the main design in one of Smart’s Calendar with a catchy statement “If Kids can, You too can make a SMART Difference!” Furthermore, They also sang and played their instruments with Joey Ayala. Their musical instruments are 
made from wood and recycled materials, which includes used bottles and gallons of mineral water, used tin cans and sticks. They also proved their creativity by having these recycled materials painted in different colors, shapes and designs. Since it was an interactive event, the kids gave the audience some of these recycled materials and asked the audience to join them in singing as well as in playing the instruments.
