Both officials, the group said, support the establishment of Waste to Energy incineration facilities here that would destroy Cebu’s natural environment.This is for pursuing and/or supporting dirty energy projects such as coal-fired power plants that harm the environment and pose significant risk to public health.
“Natural resource extraction continues unabated as long as parties involved provide a share of the proceeds to host LGUs , posing a continuing threat to the life of poor communities who are most affected by landslides, floods, and other disasters,” it added. Members of the environmental group conducted a 30-minute rally near the Fuente Osmeña Circle on Friday, April 22, with hopes that they would be heard by the chief executives of Cebu Province and Cebu City.For PMCJ Cebu, progress and environmental protection must go “hand in hand” in order to ensure a sustainable community for future generations.
Teddy Navea, the group’s spokesperson, said Garcia and Rama need to rethink their plan to have a WTE facility here and reassess how garbage should be managed.RELATED STORIES
