Optical brand keeps eye on the environment  

Owndays Philippines is turning an everyday eyewear accessory into a platform for environmental advocacy through its Cases for Change 2026 campaign that supports initiatives focused on protecting the air, land and sea.  For this year’s campaign, the Japanese eyewear brand partnered with Filipino artist Dani, known as @danijiiro on Instagram, to create three limited-edition eyeglass cases. The campaign brings together creative expression and environmental action by linking the specially designed cases to projects of Clean Air Asia, Masungi Geore­serve and Save Philippine Seas.  Clean Air Asia’s Bike-to-School Project promotes safer, cleaner and more sustainable mobility for students in Quezon City. Masungi Georeserve’s Power-a-Station Program provides solar-powered energy to ranger stations to strengthen forest protection and monitoring. Save Philippine Seas, meanwhile, will use support for its Pating Patrol workshops, which provide local communities with knowledge and tools to help protect sharks and preserve marine ecosystems.   The three organizations represent the campaign’s focus on the air people breathe, the land they live on and the seas that sustain communities.  The cases are intended to give customers a way to contribute to environmental programs through an everyday purchase. Owndays said the campaign is part of its continuing effort to use its products and partnerships to raise awareness about environmental protection.   The Cases for Change 2026 limited-edition eyeglass cases are priced at P500 when purchased separately.
