During this UN Environment Month, we come together with the global community to raise our voices against the escalating crisis of plastic pollution. This year’s theme calls us to reflect, rethink, and take action — because the health of our planet depends on the choices we make today.

At Soroptimist International South East Asia Pacific, we are deeply committed to protecting our environment through awareness, advocacy, and action. Across our region, clubs are leading initiatives that inspire change, reduce plastic waste, and promote sustainability.

Before we share ideas for club initiatives, I extend my warmest congratulations to the recipients of the Best Practice Awards announced at our Federation Meeting. Your inspiring work exemplifies the Soroptimist spirit of sustainability, innovation, and compassion. You are showing us all what impact looks like—thank you!

We also commend the many inspiring mini projects led by our clubs — from plastic reduction efforts to climate action. These local initiatives, though small in scale, are powerful agents of change that echo our shared commitment to a sustainable world.

To support this mission, clubs are encouraged to:

  • Organize clean-up activities in local communities
  • Hold plastic-free and eco-friendly events
  • Promote climate education and awareness in schools and public forums

Together, let us continue to be guardians of our environment — protecting our planet through consistent, compassionate, and courageous action.

Let’s keep working to heal and honor our Earth — for today, and for generations to come.
