Dear Editor:
Approximately 70 per cent of
the garbage burned in an incinerator
is split up into teeny, weenie
particles and forced up the chimney.
What goes up must come
down – garbage everywhere. The
remaining 30 per cent becomes ash,
part of which is very toxic.
If the incinerator burns for 25
years where is the ash going? By
2036 it’s going to be a horrendous
mountain. It will leach into the
water table contaminating the
drinking water.
The public information sessions
are a farce. They take place only
because the Environmental Act
states that the public must be consulted.
The EA act does not state that
true factual information must be
released to the public in answer to
questions asked. A simple answer
that everyone understands is never
given. |
