fossil fuels

Town victimized by oil spill seeks end to fossil fuel pollution, affected fisherfolk continue bid for justice two years after Verde Island Passage oil spill.

In time with the Season of Creation, and the 134th anniversary of San Miguel Corporation (SMC), its Catholic shareholders and stakeholders released a statement calling for the company to divest from ‘dirty’ energy such as gas and coal as the Church has committed to divest resources from fossil fuel companies as early as 2025.

Over 40 church and faith-based groups announced this week that they are divesting from oil, gas and coal investments, saying “every dollar invested in fossil fuels is a vote for suffering.”
