Irresponsible Act

Coal mining waste

This is a coal dirt being dumped by Semirara Mining Corporation in Semirara Island, Philippines.Its a shame that coal companies are earning millions of dollars on this business and declaring they are for "clean coal" but the irony is while cleaning their coal, the dirt is being dumped o the pristine sea of the island!

Barry's Response - This looks like an environmental disaster already happening. The clean coal designation can include one of many environmental initiatives, but maybe the definition should be made more stringent.

I don't see how pointing this out can make a difference. It should be the UN's responsibility to make sure governments are watching their companies properly. And this fails to say how toxic coal dirt is, and exactly what it is.
