A BURNING PROSPECT IS NO DEAL
A BURNING PROSPECT IS NO DEAL
An incinerator is earmarked to be built in the Scenic Rim. What an environmental disaster this will be. Scenic Rim, known for its beautiful scenery, communities and food growing. What a place to put an incinerator that will emit toxic chemicals such as dioxins, furans and heavy metals.
Cleanaway, the waste company, will attempt to green-wash this incinerator. However, modern flue filters and scrubbers cannot contain nanoparticles that can travel long distances. Carcinogenic chemicals that can cause cancer, unbalance endocrine systems and have the greatest effect on children’s developing bodies.
Europe is realising the mistake they made years ago, building incinerators as part of their waste management. The residents of Paris and surrounding municipalities have recently been asked not to eat eggs from their backyard chickens, as they have been found to be heavily contaminated with dioxins. Dioxins from the Paris incinerator.
Please follow the Facebook group “No Incinerator For Scenic Rim!” .
In this era of misinformation and disinformation, I will be supporting information with scientific and governmental articles and research papers of why this is such a bad idea.
