FILE PHOTO OF FILIPINO SCAVENGERS CROSSING DUMPSITE IN MANILA, 2000-07-12 (photo)

Filipino scavengers use an improvised boat to cross to the other side of the garbage dumpsite while rescuers use backhoe to search for more bodies trapped under a collapsed mountain of garbage in the Philippine capital Manila July 12, 2000. Several delegates at the Earth Summit in Johannesburg said August 30, 2002 it was likely at least two issues would not be settled without at least ministerial-level talks. One concerns U.S. resistance to efforts to set a target for halving the number of people without adequate sanitation - a similar target is already agreed for providing drinking water. The other concerns efforts to set clear goals for increasing the amount of energy provided by renewable sources like solar power - something oil firms and OPEC countries are wary of.
