INTRODUCTION
Our planet is our home, the place that keeps us alive, but should we live in
harmony with it? Humans had chosen a road of self-destruction, destroyed the structure
that provides us with refuge. Anthropogenic activities harmed our ecosystems and natural
biodiversity, from rising carbon emissions to deforestation and land degradation. Few
individuals were aware that the UN General Assembly meets every year. Designated
2011-2020 as the "Decade for Biodiversity," we were now in the penultimate year of this
vital decade. Despite multiple strategic plans and efforts aimed at mobilizing individuals
at all levels, we were still well behind schedule in meeting our objectives. The damaging
biodiversity and ecosystem conservation trends indicate that we need to do more (Voices
of Youth, 2019). The science is precise: The world was warming dangerously, humans
are the cause of it, and a failure to act today will profoundly affect the future of the Earth
Over 1,000 scientists worldwide take to the streets in week-long climate protests.
(Domenech, 2022). "We've been trying to tell you guys for so many decades that we're
heading towards a catastrophe and ignored," Kalmus (2022) says. "The scientists of the
world are being ignored, and it’s got to stop. We’re not joking. We’re not lying. We’re
not exaggerating.” NASA Climate scientist Peter Kalmus and three other scientists

speak and tell people about the climate situation, the Let the Earth Breathe
movement took off on social media, arguing that we only have four (4) to five (5)
years before the worst things happen if we do not fight it. By 2025, "would require
rapid and deep" reductions in greenhouse gas emissions to keep global warming below
1.5 degrees Celsius and avert the worst climatic disasters. According to the report by
Business Insider, if nothing was ready to curb emissions by 2025, greenhouse gas
emissions would cause a median global warming temperature of 3.2 degrees Celsius by
2100.

new forest ecosystem can function when planting trees. Ecosia only grows trees in
deforested regions where there had been trees in the past - usually in the shape of a forest,
but it could also imply savannah trees. We know that if there was an area where trees are
used to grow naturally, it provides an environment where trees can thrive. We work with
native species to restore the natural situation that previously existed. There were few
exceptions, such as planting non-invasive fruit or nut plants alongside native trees in

2040, which would be a decade ahead of the Paris Climate Agreement's ambitions. The

Green supply chain management was an idea that considers environmental issues.
It began in the early years when several companies worldwide pledged to go green with
environment (Aguilar et al., 2018). The active management of supply chain activities to
optimize customer value and generate sustained competitive advantage was known as
supply chain management (SCM). Supply chain organizations made a deliberate attempt
to construct and run supply chains most effectively and efficiently feasible. Product
creation, sourcing, production, logistics, and the information systems required to manage
these activities were all covered by supply chain activities (Handfield, 2021).
The term "green" was commonly used interchangeably with the more established
and economic effects (Baines et al., 2012). Greening, the supply chain management, was

correspond to the market's desired order requirements, the green concept would assume

they would include in every supply chain management practice and research (Tebaldi et
al., 2018). According to a previous study, green supply chain management was one of the
most severe difficulties facing European companies in the twenty-first century (Chiu and
Hsieh, 2016). The term "green" or "environment" would become a critical competitive
factor in the SCM system in the future (Khan, 2018). The company should be "green" as

Food chains were among the fastest-growing businesses today. However, the

It was not unexpected that businesses want to know how employees' job actions
affect the environment and which personal attributes lead to excellent and poor
features. Personality qualities (Kim et al., 2017), occupational attitudes (Paillé et al.,
2013), personal norms, and environmental views (Bissing-Olson et al., 2013). (Bissing-

Olson et al., 2013). According to Scherbaum et al. (2018), popular media and popular
press prejudices, older adults were supposedly less worried about the environment than
younger people (Irvine, 2012); (Twenge et al., 2012). Older workers were frequently
portrayed as rigid, hesitant to adopt new habits, and incapable of learning new abilities
(Dennis & Thomas, 2017). Organizations and researchers had expressed concern that,
based on these assumptions, older workers were more averse to modifying their work
Some authors had also claimed that older workers were more likely to have health issues
that prevent them from engaging in various sustainable behaviors (such as taking the
stairs, turning down the heat, and turning down the air conditioning (Afacan, 2015).
Many businesses had expressed worry that aging workforces would interfere with
(Peccoud, 2013). Many firms' management methods had begun to be influenced by these
young people in practices that disadvantage older workers and expose organizations to
legal liability (Epstein & Howes, 2006). In their review of age–job performance
stereotypes were present in many domains of job performance (e.g., safety performance,
2016).
Gender
Men and women had different expectations and objectives, and there exist gaps
between them in terms of rights and natural resources, making environmental and
development goals harder to attain. Ecological projects that do not proactively identify
and address relevant gender issues can perpetuate inequality and expand the gap between
men and women. REDD+ stands for Reducing Emissions from It stands for Deforestation
and Forest Degradation and was a global program to reduce emissions caused by
countries for preserving their woodlands. However, research revealed that men and
women would not profit equally from this paradigm. Women would leave out of the

Good managers served as role models for ethical behavior. If a company wants its
employees to act ethically, it had to start at the top, where executives were held to a high
standard of conduct and boldly say, "Follow my lead, do as I do." At the very least,
leaders should not break the law or violate company policy. "Get this deal done, no
matter what it takes" could imply that unethical practices and breaking the spirit, if not
the law's letter, are acceptable. A manager who misappropriated company property by
taking home office supplies or utilizing the firm's computers for personal gain but then
punishes any employee who does the same was not modeling ethical behavior. Likewise,

Food and menu design aren't the only approaches to improving food service's
health and sustainability. Choices affecting restaurants and other foodservice enterprises'
design, construction, and operation were also crucial. Imagining kitchens that promoted
the ideal preparation of fresh, healthy foods and selecting energy- and water-efficient
equipment and ecologically friendly building materials were just a few examples. Dining-
room operations and food service eating places also demanded more attention. Behavioral
economics studies have shown: that design, setup, service, and communication methods
could drive consumers to healthier, more sustainable choices. Moderated portion size was
one of the most significant steps foodservice operators could take toward reversing
obesity trends and reducing food waste (The Culinary Institute of America, 2022).

The study meets the ethical principles by supplying the respondent with a survey
number to the respondents' responses to the questionnaire. Just have access to show the
total number of respondents to maintain their identity. Acquired the information from the
respondent, who had been detained with the utmost confidentiality. No single restaurant
would be ruined due to the study's formulation, as it will agree to support those restaurant
businesses.
The researchers initially gave the owners of the said establishments a letter of
consent to obtain authorization to collect the necessary data for the study or research. The
researchers then committed to surveying these sites and accepted the Dean of the
College's approval. The researchers dedicated their time, effort, and collaboration to
creating surveys with precise wording that would be useful to the targeted respondents.
The survey was implemented using suitable questions modified from related research by
the researchers. Following that, the researchers conducted a face-to-face study at the
health protocols such as wearing of face mask, sanitizing, and social distancing. The
researchers utilized purposive sampling since that is how they selected respondents from
a list of eateries acquired from the municipality of Nasipit. Finally, the information
