all i can say is that the means should not justify the ends and the ends should not justify the means. its like because people are bad should we kill them ill, just like people are harsh to the environment and we should be harsh in dealing with them as well

ok let's PRAY for all those senators (or any politician for that matter) who are backed by large corporations that are dealing with products that harm the planet in exchange for personal gains. may the Holy Spirit enlighten us all to do what is best for all of us. AMEN.

now I have said a little prayer for us all, let's all sit back and hope that SOMEDAY, everything will be back to the time when Adam and Eve roam this Earth.

Electric Jeepneys to service residents of Bel-Air, Makati

Two units of the E-jeep will be servicing the residents of Bel-Air Village in Makati for free starting November 20, 2007. The routes of Bel-Air to Rockwell, and Bel-Air to the Buendia MRT station will be implemented. This project is made possible by GRIPP, Greenpeace, the City of Makati, with the cooperation of Bel-Air Village.

The E-jeepney was launched last July 2007 and is now in its pilot testing phase. Since we have not yet secured the necessary permits to get the E-jeep running on our city streets, units will service passengers within enclosed environments.

This is the first public transport of its kind in Southeast Asia. Ejeepneys mitigate climate change because they are free of fossil fuels. They also address urban problems such as air pollution and solid waste.


Greenpeace activists dressed as alarm clocks march inside the senate compund to call on senators to immediately pass the Renewable Energy (RE) Bill ahead of the most important political meeting on climate change in Indonesia this December, to help combat the grave impacts of climate change which will put the future of millions of Filipinos at risk. The activists, whose costumes and banner bore the slogan 'It's time. Pass the RE Bill now!' distributed leaflets and letters to the Senators calling for the swift passage of the bill, which has been languishing in Congress for more than a decade. The said bill will be the country's first important contribution to the worldwide effort to avert climate change, recognized as the most pressing environmental disaster. Greenpeace has kept up the call to speed up the passage of the bill amid expert scientific opinion that the window for action to prevent the worst onslaughts of climate change impacts is getting narrower.
Greenpeace to Senate: IT'S TIME to pass the RE Bill

Last November 5, 2007, Greenpeace volunteers came to the Senate Building dressed as alarm clocks to remind the Philippine government to immediately pass the Renewable Energy (RE) Bill. This is a timely reminder as the Philippines participates in the most important political meeting on climate change this December, in Bali, Indonesia.

The RE bill will facilitate the massive uptake of renewable energy in the country by promoting the expansion of sustainable energy sources and by setting time-bound renewable energy targets. This bill will ensure that our country veers away from dependence on coal, identified by scientists as a major contributor to climate change.

Iloilo, PHILIPPINES — Thousands joined an ecumenical prayer rally in Iloilo City today in protest against a proposed 164 MW coal fired power plant, which if built would contribute to global climate change and lock the country in a dirty energy cycle for years to come.
Led by Catholic Bishops Council of Philippines (CBCP) President Archbishop Angel Lagdameo, the interfaith rally sends a strong signal to proponents of the coal-fired power plant they are not welcome in the city. Hundreds of students from St. Paul’s University formed a ‘QUIT COAL’ sign to call on local and national government officials to reject coal.

The Philippines is ranked number one on the global climate risk index in 2007 because the country is in a typhoon belt and many of the low-lying islands are under threat from sea level rise. Coal-fired
power plants account for 36% of the country's total CO2 emissions.

“Filipinos have realized that climate change is a real threat to the country and are rejecting coal, one of the major contributors to global climate change. People instead seek for better solutions
offered by renewable energy from wind, sun or geothermal resources,” said Jasper Inventor, Climate and Energy Campaigner of Greenpeace Southeast Asia.

On this exact day four years ago, the people of Iloilo rejected a proposed coal-fired power plant in Banate, a town approximately 40 kilometers from Iloilo city.

Other communities across the country have also rejected proposed coal-fired power plants. In 2002, Negros booted out a proposed coal-fired power plant and led to the declaration that the province
becomes a model for 100% renewable energy development. In 2006, the Philippine National Oil Corporation stopped its coal fired power plant project in Isabela after opposition from residents.



Over the years, the residents of Iloilo and nearby Negros province have joined Greenpeace in urging for a switch to clean energy use in the country. The Philippines' wind energy potential is estimated to
meet seven times the country's total energy demand. However, clean technologies such as wind, solar and modern biomass represent less than 0.2% of the overall Philippine power mix in spite of promises from the Arroyo administration to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

“Instead of harnessing the growing public opposition to climate damaging coal-fired power plants to help enable the shift towards greater use of renewable energy systems, the government sadly remains fixated on prolonging the country's deadly addiction to polluting energy plants. Climate change is far too great a risk for Filipinos that coal should altogether be phased out of the country’s energy mix,” Inventor concluded.
