New Report from GAIA on the Perils of Incineration
GAIA just dropped a killer new report on the perils of incineration. What does this have to do with composting, you may ask? Incineration directly competes with composting (and recycling) programs by destroying perfectly good material and turning it into brand-new toxins to inhale. Better yet, both composting and recycling are more cost effective, practical solutions that create more jobs than incineration. We already know how bad incinerators (pyrolysis, gasification, waste-to-energy) are in terms of the pollutants they spew out (dioxin, NOx, SOx, arsenic, mercury, ash, etc), but this report appeals to even the most conservative bean counters. Incinerators are the most expensive high-risk solution to dealing with waste. Here's the official press release and link to the report: Berkeley, U.S. — A new risk analysis from GAIA finds that companies…
