Environmental activists rally outside the Philippine Senate in Manila on September 9, 2015 to demand that scores of containers filled with household rubbish be shipped back to Canada and to push for the ratification of the Basel Ban Amendment which prohibits the export of hazardous waste from developed to developing countries. Philippine officials said in July, 2015 that tonnes of imported Canadian rubbish had been sent to a northern Philippines landfill, ending a two-year standoff with activists who called for the waste to be returned to Canada.
