A record of our environmental work
We dream of a green and fair world for everyone. We envision a shift from consumer-blaming to sustainable production, from individualistic to collective effort.
Our goal is to put pressure on corporations to take responsibility for their climate emissions and dismantle oppressive practices harming Filipinos. Every year, we experience loss of lives and homes from storm surges, floods, landslides, extreme heat waves, and forest fires. They worsen with increasing air and plastic pollution from the prevalence of single-use plastic packaging and global waste trade allowing foreign waste to be dumped on our landfills.
Get to know how we always anchor our work on ensuring a green future while resisting tyranny from the greedy few. Here, you can find accurate information on our stance and our creative, nonviolent campaigns, and solutions to environmental issues.
