GLOBE Telecom reinforces its commitment to environmental sustainability by promoting the benefits of using renewable energy among its partner communities in far-flung places which are deprived of electricity. Globe, together with Stiftung Solarenergie Philippines, is spear-heading a solar lantern-distribution program in Batangas, Davao and Benguet. The provinces are part of the Community of Practice strategy of Globe which brings together various advocacies and initiatives of the company in areas of environment, good governance, social services, entrepreneurship and volunteerism. ?We employ a wholistic approach in the communities that we serve that is why we provide them with the tools to make their lives better. In this case, we decided on distributing solar lamps so that the people could avoid using coal and kerosene, which are hazardous to their health and the environment. More important, it is expected that the use of solar lamps will generate significant household savings which they can use for more productive undertakings,? said Fernando Esguerra, officer in charge, Globe Corporate Social Responsibility. As an initial activity, 80 solar lamps will be distributed to the boatmen and tour guides of Taal who live in Barangay Caliwit, Balete, Batangas. Balete is a fifth-class municipality along Taal Lake which provides a panoramic view of Taal Volcano. Calawit is one of the 13 barangays in Balete. In Arakan Valley, at the border of Davao and Northern Cotabato, recipients of the solar lamps are the 132 members of Bantay Gubat, a group of tribal people who protect the habitat of the Philippine Eagle. On the other hand, public-elementary schools hosting seedling nurseries will be the beneficiaries of 257 solar lamps in Benguet to lessen and eventually end their reliance on kerosene. Solar lamps for distribution are either portable or for installation in homes and can provide from four hours of continuous use under maximum setting to as long as 100 hours under bedtime setting. They can also be used to charge mobile phones. Globe currently has existing partnerships with Pusod Inc. on the protection of the Taal Volcano Protected Landscape, Philippine Eagle Foundation for the Forest Corridor Initiative Program in Arakan Valley, and Cordillera Conservation Trust on the Roots & Shoots Nursery Program in Benguet.

"Solarenergie gehört für mich nicht unbedingt überall hin" - Lausitzer Rundschau 10.?August 2013, 02:51?Uhr Maritta Albrecht, SPD: "Die Förderung der Wirtschaft ist gerade in der Stadt Hoyerswerda ein besonders wichtiges Thema. Und natürlich sind Schwerpunkte dabei die Förderung von Klein- und Jungunternehmen und der in Hoyerswerda bereits ansässigen Firmen. Was Solarfelder und die Solarenergie angeht, wie Nardt hier auf dem Bild: Die gehört meiner Meinung nach nicht unbedingt überall hin. In diesem Zusammenhang bin ich auch froh darüber, dass der Solarpark Zeißig gestorben ist. " zum Artikel... Für die Inhalte dieses Feeds ist alleine der jeweilige Autor/Anbieter verantwortlich.
