“Working together for a PCBs-free Philippines”. More groups, this time from both the public and private sectors involved in waste and sanitation issues in Cebu joined the EcoWaste Coalition in its all-out support to the efforts to eliminate the persistent organic pollutants (POPs) polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the Philippines. The country targets to be PCB-free by 2014 through the United Nations-backed endeavor called the Non-Com POPs Project. In this photo, taken during a workshop for the informal waste sectors (IWS), are representatives from the EcoWaste Coalition, Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives, BAN Toxics, Freedom from Debt Coalition-Cebu, Cebu City Health Department, and various other organizations and groups from the IWS.
