It's Time Senate

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.
