Ecowaste Coalition made its call to ten Presidential candidates to set aside their political platforms and disclose their positions and solutions for dealing w? climate change, for the imminent 2010 Election campaign period.
The group has denounced its Presidential forum as it held its general assembly at the University of the Philippines which drew more than 100 civil society leaders.
"It is not enough for the candidates to profess their concern for the environment. Voters need to know where the candidates stand on key challenges, as well as their plans and respective track records in the environment field", Calonzo said via PDI.
The group will showcase a survey on the candidates' environmental agenda, like the one it did last national election.
The survey will be composed of questions that deal with zero waste, water protection, climate change mitigation, chemical safety, renewable energy and other various environmental issues.
Ecowaste will conduct the survey as it launches the Green Electoral Initiative (GEI) to relinquish the environmental agenda of the 10 Presidential candidates.
A scale from "green to gray" will be graded to the candidates after analyzing their answers by the panel of evaluators.
