This Earth Day, we're skipping the panel. Five planeteers, five organizations, one big mixer.

Sustina, GainForest, Waves for Water, Masungi Georeserve, ABS-CBN Foundation, and YACAP are hosting Earth Week Happy Hours on April 25 at The Astbury in Poblacion, Makati—a mixer for storytellers, climate advocates, and anyone passionate about the planet we live in.

The night is built around five Planeteer Stations, each held by an expert with a story to tell in five minutes.
