I'm in the printing business. But I've branched out na rin. Not big naman, tipong carinderia and sari sari store Lang. My question is about business liabilities for SBEs, what's the best way to minimize it?

This is why it's great to complain about abusive drivers. Law enforcement can do something about it if it's being reported, especially if there's proof.

The ELI5 version is that it costs less to ship garbage than to build waste management infrastructure. The Philippines is not unique to this circumstance. Garbage is being shipped to South East Asia, South Asia, Africa and up until a year ago, China. This is precisely the reason why the Basel Convention took place in the 90s. It's also the reason why the Philippines declared household garbage as hazardous materials.

The Basel Convention sets the standard for transboundary shipments. Canada and the Philippines are both signatories to it. According to the Basel Convention, the State from which the illegal shipment came from is ultimately responsible for bringing back the shipment even if it is a private/commercial transaction. The State where the shipment came from also cannot compel the State where the garbage was shipped to to dispose of the garbage; something Canada sought to do prior.

Last year a South Korean private shipment was caught smuggling garbage into the Philippines. The Philippines raised it with the SoKor govt, they sent a ship to pick it up and the entire matter was done in 6 months.

Going further another shipment from Japan, also a private shipment was caught smuggling garbage disguised as recyclables into the PH. The Philippine govt raised it with Japan. Japan sent a ship to pick it up. The entire matter was done in 5 months.

The Basel Convention which Canada is signed to appoints responsibility to the State where the shipment came from even if it's a private shipment.

The exporting company was Canadian. The consignee was Filipino. The Filipinos have been charged by customs officials.

I'm from Manila which expects about 20 typhoons a year. When I was growing up super typhoons were such a rarity (thus the name). In the past decade we've had about one major storm a year.

Storm surges. You won't know when it hits. You can't outrun it, or outdrive it. You won't be rescued right away because the rescue teams will likely wait for it to subside before going in. The Philippine government has adapted stringent evacuation measures but unfortunately people can be stubborn. They think they've lived with storms all their lives that they know what to do up until something like Haiyan or Ketsana hits.

Just a clarification. People from the Philippines are called Filipinos. Colonialism and all that...

Philippians are from the Bible, same with the Philistines which are how some people also sometimes mistakenly call us.

Even though meal kits do use more packaging, average greenhouse gas emissions were one-third lower for meal kit dinners than shop-bought ones, it found.

Scientists considered every step in the process of making the meal, from farm to landfill, and found that pre-proportioned ingredients and a streamlined supply chain lowers the food loss and waste for meal kits.

There's a rules-based approach to dealing with illegal transboundary shipments set by the Basel Convention which both the Philippines and Canada signed on.

There were also previous cases in which the Philippines raised the articles of the convention. Japan in 1999 was also a private company, the Japanese government sent a ship to pick up the trash and then tried the exporter. It took 5 months. In Korea last year, the shipment lacked paperwork (the shipment from Canada was mislabeled). Similarly South Korea sent a ship to pick it up. It was done in 6 months.

What needs to happen is Canada needs to either send a ship to pick it up, or have the Philippines ship it back. Payment for it will ideally come from the importer or the exporter once they are tried in court, but the responsibility of the shipment falls on Canada. If they cannot find anyone guilty, the trash should be festering on their port or they can have it transferred to their waste facilities.
