My WED "Action on Coal" Event. |
|---|
|
By 10 am, we were at the EPA head office in Accra, Ghana's capital city. I was surprise to see environmental leaders from Ivory Coast who had traveled to Ghana just to support us in this very campaign. The previous anti-coal campaign which I have organized and led had successfully postponed the commencement of the coal project from August 2015 to March 2016. We are of the view that with more people joining the campaign, Ghana will have a no coal future.

Heojun, that is very true. We should all phase out coal and embrace clean energy.

Coal is proven to be one of the most contributing factors to air pollution. NASA came to do a research on air quality several weeks ago in Korea. and they announced that the coal generators around the country are considered to have greater impact than previously expected. thanks for sharing!

Minjoo, we have already given Ghana an alternative - Solar. We have abundant sun 😊

John, its true that most countries use coal but after COP21, there has been a tremendous change. Coal power generation has recorded low levels for the first time in 35 years. Conversely, renewable energy sector has seen growth like any other energy sector. Coal is phasing out gradually, colleagues.

Adam, we realized that we needed the EPA to influence the decision. That's why we stormed their premises.

Joshua, coal is definitely one of the factors that cause severe air pollution. No Coal movement, in this perspective, may contribute a lot in saving the environment. However, we should also think about the people who originally used coal as energy source, and provide them alternatives before fully banning it. Thanks for sharing and have a great day!

Several countries are still depending on coal as the main source of energy. Hence, I see this movement of yours as a great call of action and reminder of the negative impacts of coal to our environment. So to everyone who participated in this movement, CHEERS!

Your revolutionising movement against coal is really appreciable and is showing it's impact. So proud of you. All the best.

Thank you for following up on the 'No to Coal' project. As I mentioned before, clearly this will bring big impact especially when in affiliation with the EPA. Congratulations!
