Coal for lunch? Greenpeace activists show coal dishes which were offered to delegates of a USAID ‘clean’ coal seminar in Chiang Mai. Around 150 community members from Mae Moh (Lampang province), Wieng Haeng (Chiang Mai), Bonok, Thapsakae (Prachuab) and Greenpeace activists marched to the venue of a USAID sponsored seminar in Chiang Mai to promote coal. The US has refused to support mandatory reduction of global greenhouse gas emissions despite scientific evidence of the threats of climate change. The coal fired power plant of Mae Moh, Thailand is considered to be the worst of its kind in Asia and has had adverse and irreversible effect on the health and environment of the local community.
