Protesting Coal-Fired Power Plant, Activists Dump Coal at Doorway. GMA News, April 17, 2008. "Greenpeace activists dumped 200 kilos of coal at the entrance of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources [in Manila, Phillipines today] and unfurled a banner with the message 'Atienza, don't be a climate criminal.' The activists are demanding that Secretary Lito Atienza immediately reject all plans to construct a dangerous coal-fired power plant in Iloilo City. Instead of actual coal, the activists used charcoa...l 'It is a crime against humanity to abet climate change -- a crime that Secretary Atienza can stop by denying the issuance on an Environmental Compliance Certificate to the Iloilo Coal plant'... Jasper Inventor [of Greenpeace] said in a statement... Greenpeace also reminded Secretary Atienza about his own pronouncements... in Bali in December... where he called on world governments to act urgently and decisively to reverse climate change."
