E-Jeep hour

Manila, Philippines – On the eve of a global meeting on mercury pollution, anti-toxics advocate EcoWaste Coalition led the E-Jeep Toxics Tour in Manila to urge the government to act against mercury pollution and raise public awareness on the health and environmental threats posed by mercury in products and wastes.

“We are here to inform and warn our people about the real and present danger of mercury pollution due to human activities that are damaging the food supply and the ecosystems and causing harm to public health,“ said Thony Dizon, coordinator of the EcoWaste Coalition’s Project Protect.
