EDC’s Energy Camp has already garnered accolades not only from the scholars’ parents and the company’s host communities and local government units, but more so from the prestigious Public Relations Society of the Philippines’ (PRSP) Anvil Awards and the International Association of Business Communicators’ (IABC) Gold Quill Awards for being more than just a one-time PR project, said Ariola.
It has become a sustainable program that creates lasting results on the beneficiaries’ growth and development.
This year, EDC will have seven Energy Camps for the scholars in its geothermal sites in Valencia, Negros Oriental (two camps); Bacon-Manito, Sorsogon; Tongonan, Leyte (two camps), Kidapawan, North Cotabato (two camps), including one for the teachers in the company’s host schools.
A total of 382 residents of the company’s host communities (220 scholars, 44 teachers and 118 children of EDC employees) will benefit from this project.

Imagine a solar panel as affordable as a fancy new bicycle. A panel designed so simply that you can install one (or more) yourself, just outside your windows, in the course of an afternoon.
That’s the concept behind Oakland, Calif.-based Veranda Solar, a start-up founded last year by Capra J’neva and Emilie Fetscher, recent graduates of the product design program at Stanford University. J’neva and Fetscher dreamed up attractive, flower-shaped solar panels as part of their master’s project at the design school. “We created a starter solar system that expands as your budget does,” J’neva says.

All the inks used by the DURST, including white, are VOC-free. That means that they do not contain volatile organic compounds such as hydrocarbons, ketones, or formaldehyde. In other words, they are safe for the environment. By printing the inks directly onto a substrate, instead of onto paper which is then adhered to the substrate, the amount of media used is reduced. Production time is also reduced so more units can be turned around in less time, further reducing costs.

The oven, built of plywood and fiberglass insulation, is powered by a funnel-like array of reflective mylar that focuses sunlight into the top of the box through a window of double-paned glass.
The contraption is angled toward the sun with brackets and mounted on a cart with wheels, so it can be adjusted throughout the day.
Altogether, the oven cost about $300 to build. Roekle is working on a portable, low-cost unit that could be used at campgrounds, instead of propane and charcoal.
