Security personnel at a coal-fired power plant in the northern Philippines broke up a Greenpeace protest with clubs and stones, injuring four activists, the environmental group said on Thursday.

"We were planting mangrove trees when they came," said one worker at the plant, who asked not to be named. "We thought they would only talk to us but they forced their way in."

Bowing to pressure from the fishermen, the city of Marseilles, and the nationally-owned ferry port, have reversed a previous decision and refused permission for Rainbow Warrior II to tie up at their docksides. Greenpeace said yesterday that it was not seeking a "publicity stunt" and would make no attempt to break through the fishermen's blockade.

It is not clear what particular misery Greenpeace refers to with regard to the use of DDT for malaria control. As I have already explained, malaria causes over 1 million deaths every year, equating to a death almost every 30 seconds. Those children that survive malaria often suffer cognitive impairment and face a blighted future. The disease leaves people enervated and unable to work and is a constant drain on a country’s economy, costing Africa an estimated $12 billion every year. All the while, no demonstrable or significant human harm from DDT has ever been proven.
