Greenpeace International issued an appeal to hairdressers and beauty salons yesterday to donate cut hair for a worthy cause, saying indigenous materials such as human hair can be used to absorb the oil spill off Guimaras island. 


Greenpeace campaigner Athena Ballesteros said other indigenous materials such as cogon and rice straw could also act as oil


absorbents even as the group stressed that hair cut today could save the environment tomorrow.

The international environment group Greenpeace has called on the government and various international funding institutions to tap  the country’s vast renewable energy sources in place of coal.


Jasper Inventor, climate and energy campaigner of Greenpeace-Southeast Asia, said the government should include "clear and real intentions to a massive shift towards clean, renewable energy in the power sector" to achieve a "Green Philippines" in the next five years.

These alternative sources of energy or renewables are wind, solar and biomass.
