According to Holcim, heavy rains from tropical depression Henry on July 13 created a gap in their benched wall, pushing coal from their stockpile and into the shoreline. Nearby residents are not aware of the use of coal in the cement facility. Greenpeace is currently working with concerned citizens whose lives and survival are threatened by a proposed coal-fired power plant in Luna, La Union. Following President Duterte's recent SONA, coal-affected communities are seeking stronger statements against fossil fuels, similar to those directed at the mining industry, but hopefully with more distinct executive orders and other measures that lay out clear directions for a shift to renewables and other reforms.Locations:Asia-Ilocos Region-La Union-Northern Luzon-Philippines-Southeast AsiaDate:20 Jul, 2018Credit:© Raffy Lerma / GreenpeaceMaximum size:5000px X 3333pxKeywords:Accidents-Beaches-Cleaning-Climate (campaign title)-Coal-Day-Dirty-Factory workers-KWCI (GPI)-Manual workers-Marine pollution-One person-OutdoorsShoot:Coal Spill in La Union, PhilippinesGreenpeace bear witness to the coal spill from the Holcim cement factory that happens in Quirino, Bacnotan in La Union.
