  • I Stepped in Green… *Rajiv K Shrivastava*
    I stepped in Green… *Rajiv K Shrivastava* My Journey with ENO began on an afternoon on March 11, 2000 when a random email from Finland landed on my table requesting schools to join a web based project. ENO promised an innovative project, an online global learning. However, to agree to participate in an online project was an intimidating prospect as I was then working as IT Head in a private boarding school in remote north eastern part of India where Internet was a rare commodity, connection patchy at the best! Sometimes, I had to travel 25 km to post my emails. Since young age, green was in my veins. I always liked to plant and had been part of several environmental campaigns in college days. I decided to apply. 20 years later, now ENO is in my veins pumping green in my heart (much to the discomfort of Corona) that beats globally. I have friends in over 100 countries that all share a common thought. At my school, I formed small eno groups: eno juniors and eno seniors that participated in eno activities planting trees and joining online chats. Sitting in computer lab or my office, logged in to eno chat rooms and sharing words with students and teachers all across the world fascinated students. I remember when I offered ENO as an activity at my school, almost half the student community applied. Initially, we were faceless to each other organizing all our events online. In early 2001, Mika and I had some exchange of thought about organizing a face to face conference.

    STRATEGIC BANNER COMMUNICATION UPPER PAGE 1 EDITORIAL CARTOON STORY STORY INITIATIVES PAGE LOWER SERVICE DENR issues violation notice vs. barge owner in July 06, 2020 PAGE 1/ DATE TITLE : Iloilo City 1/2 DENR issues violation notice vs. barge owner in Iloilo City Published July 5, 2020, 1:22 PM by Ellalyn De Vera-Ruiz A notice of violation (NOV) will be issued against the owner of a barge that exploded off the coast of Iloilo City last Friday due to violation of environmental laws, an official of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) said on Sunday. (MANILA BULLETIN) Undersecretary Benny Antiporda said the issuance of a NOV against AC Energy Corporation is based on Republic Act 9275 or the Clean Water Act of 2004. “A technical conference will be called to address the oil spill focusing on the clean-up operations. Then the case will be endorsed to the PAB (Pollution Adjudication Board) for computation of fines against AC Energy Corporation,” he explained. Antiporda pointed out that the company, in coordination with a third-party, Harbor Star Shipping Services, will be conducting the clean-up operations in the affected area. “Clean-up must be conducted following the national oil spill contingency plan and clean-up operations shall be supervised by the Philippine Coast Guard,” he said. “The regional incident management team has been created to monitor all aspects of the clean- up from the affected community, health impacts, environmental impacts, and waste management,” he added. The Philippine Coast Guard earlier reported that approximately one hectare of mangrove area has become a “proximate sensitive area” to the oil spill.
