No place for incineration in our warming world

THE announcement by Indaver Ireland that, for the moment, they are not going to build incinerators gives us time to stop and think about the best ways to change our lifestyles and reduce waste.

The company first applied for permission for incinerators in 2001. Now, six years later, we are beginning to realise that with global warming and our squandering of the world’s resources, we must live more lightly on Spaceship Earth. Wastefulness, destruction of resources and indifference to our environment no longer have any place.

Neither do incinerators.
