"Burning coal (Karbon mula sa bundok) releases mercury in the air (A cause of Asthma+other respiratory illnesses and damages the nervous system) then goes to the ocean and is eaten by fish that we also eat. It also destroys coral reefs in the process. This old and dirty way of producing energy causes many other harmful effects," Jericho further elaborated.
