Why burning garbage is the best option

Here's one that should fan the flames...

Trash is a resource and burying it is wasteful. Incinerators also
produce fewer pollutants than landfills do

Intuitively, burning our garbage seems outdated. Some people believe
it's the wrong thing to do.

That's not what leading public health, environment and waste management
experts have told Metro Vancouver.

The Livable Blog

Our goal as the Livable Region Coalition (LRC) is to provide a voice for those who believe that efficient and sustainable transportation is a cornerstone for the future of the Lower Mainland. We believe that through creating attractive transportation choices, encouraging urban density, and preserving green space and agricultural land, we can make our communities better places to live and grow.

We believe that the provincial government's strategy to pursue excessive development through the Gateway project is detrimental to the well-being of Greater Vancouver. The Gateway project's stated goals of reducing pollution and congestion will not materialize. Evidence for this comes from many sources. Instead, we advocate real solutions that will actually work and will be less expensive.
