Rashid is based in Singapore and handles Shipping and Solar ( Transnational Uyeno Solar ) for the TGD group.  This is a great milestone as well for their company since it is their first Solar installation in the country.  Hoping that many more others will follow suit and help save the earth

My brother, Noey Lopez, Chief Operating Officer of Rustan Coffee Corporation, explained that Starbucks has 3 Pillars – Community, Ethical Sourcing and Environment.  He is thankful to the Store development team headed by my Mom, Menchu Tantoco Lopez and my brother, Quito T. Lopez who are daring to embark on projects such as these and pioneer worthwhile investments at the same time save our earth

    Hope we will see more establishments using this abundant form of energy. Combined with Liquid Metal Battery technology and we can replace using fuel in the future! More power!
