Ang Earth Day Every Day Project ay nakikipagtulungan sa mga mag-aaral na sumali sa kompetisyon sa pagkolekta ng plastik.

Ang Earth Day Every Day Project ay isang makabuluhang inisyatiba na naglalayong makilahok ang mga kabataan sa pagsusulong ng pangangalaga sa kalikasan. Layunin nitong turuan ang kabataan ng kahalagahan ng recycling sa pamamagitan ng pagtipon ng plastik sa kanilang komunidad at dalhin ang mga ito sa mga itinalagang pasilidad sa pagkolekta sa pinakamalapit na SM mall. 

Magkakaroon ng mahalagang papel ang SM Supermalls sa pag-uulat ng mga unit ng plastik na ibinigay ng mga mag-aaral bawat buwan. Bukod dito, bilang gantimpala sa kanilang dedikasyon, ang mga organisasyong kasosyo ay magbibigay ng premyo sa klase na pinakamaraming puntos bawat buwan. Sa dulo ng taong pang-akademiko, ang paaralang may pinakamataas na puntos na naitala ay pararangalan para sa kanilang kahusayan sa pangangalaga sa kalikasan.

"Here at SM, we strive to weave our dedication to the Earth into every initiative we undertake—from recycling water to repurposing solid waste and embracing renewable energy," sabi ni SM Prime Assistant Vice President Jessica Sy. "This program is more than just a call to action—it's an adventure! We are challenging students to venture into their communities, collect plastics, and bring them to our collection facilities at an SM mall near them. Together, let's celebrate Earth Day today, and every day, with actions that speak louder than words."
