'38 degrees': "Support for UK communities fighting against Waste Incineration"

Link to web site

"Many communities across the UK are fighting their local councils, about decisions to build waste incinerators in towns, near homes, on farm land and in areas of natural beauty and interest. There are many more planned for the UK. The USA has not commissioned an Incinerator since the mid 1990's however they are still being built in the UK by American companies.

"There are better, greener, and healthier alternatives to waste management. Typically, councils are locked into 25-year contracts, and agree to provide the privately-owned incinerator companies with a certain quota of waste, or else face hefty fines. This undermines recycling, and is bad news for the whole of the UK, as in areas with incinerators, rubbish set aside for recycling is diverted to these incinerators."
