High-tech industries threaten
environment and laborers’ health |
|
Silicon Valley environmentalist claims ‘going
green’ is a myth
|
|
By Ike Suarez, correspondent
HIGH-tech industries’ current stance of “going green” is a
myth and labor unions, as well as social activists the world over
must now unite to take action to combat the environmental harm they
do and the threats to workers’ health that they pose, according to
Ted Lewis, a visiting environmentalist and founding member of the
Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition.
Lewis, an environmental and labor lawyer, spoke
on Tuesday at a forum on electronic waste, organized by the EcoWaste
Coalition, an alliance of Philippine NGOs that focus on
environmental issues, at the Merced Bakeshop in Quezon City. He told
The Manila Times immediately after his talk that he is here to firm
up contacts with environmental activists and to find out more about
electronic waste conditions in the country.
