Why Are We Against Incineration?
We cannot just keep throwing our garbage into a landfill. However, incineration is not the answer! The following are reasons why we should not build an incinerator. They are by no means exhaustive. Please also see this report, An Industry Blowing Smoke, released June 2009, which report concludes that new incineration technologies, like older-style burners, are expensive, inefficient and contribute to both climate change and serious public health impacts. The report examines industry claims, health, track record of these facilities, expense, energy, impact on natural resources and the climate, and other issues.
