Detroit Incinerator - part #1

Detroit's trash-to-energy incinerator has been the center of debate recently because of a decision that must be made to continue its operation or move to a new business model for solid waste. Capable of burning up to 4000 tons of trash per day, the Detroit garbage incinerator is the largest of its kind in the nation. After nearly 20 years of operation, the Greater Detroit Resource Recovery Authority will have to decide its fate by June 1, 2008.

We're fighting against an incinerator proposal in the Highlands of Scotland. Our would not be 'energy from waste' as there are no customers. This is downright selfish. we have no moral rights to deprive the future of their inheritance of plastic, etc. I wrote "It was Madness" our campaign song, which you can see on YouTube.

No matter how much recycling is done, there will always be things that cannot be recycled, such as dirty diapers and medical waste. Trash incineration is always better than burning expensive foreign oil!

Compost and recycling is the key, and it has to be done on a personal level...KEEP THE GOVERNMENT OUT OF IT!

The sad reality of it is:

their garbage has to go somewhere.

The options are:

Their backyard or someone else's backyard.

In many situations, the homes/people who surround the facility, suffer the greatest and benefit the least.

Hopefully, there will be an amicable sollution.

According to the EPA, if we sent all of our current waste to these facilities we would be able to provide five to eight percent of our countries total energy needs.
