Youth Green Warriors Tell Japan: Philippines is Not a Free Waste Trade Zone

| Youth green warriors from the Ecowaste Coalition dramatize in front of the Japanese Embassy and the Philippine Senate what they view as devastating waste colonialism if the controversial Japan-Philippines Economic Partnership Agreement (JPEPA) is ratified and implemented. The toxic accord would decriminalize the dumping of toxic wastes forbidden by the country's environmental laws. The Ecowaste Coalition and other concerned groups are calling both the Japanese Diet and the Philippine Senate to reject the agreement. The creative protest event was held to mark the second month of the signing of JPEPA by Pres. Gloria Arroyo and then Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi on 9 September 2006.© GAIA
