Incineration…A recent UBC study says “Any new sources of combustion in the Lower Mainland, including mass burn waste incineration, is simply not advisable.” So what are we waiting for? Lets ensure clean air in the Fraser Valley.
Saturday May 15 (tomorrow) is Metro Vancouver’s public meeting at Abbey Arts starting at noon. They will present a one sided arguement on how combusting garbage means no emissions and great environmental benefits.
We know better.
Remember SE2 when we all rallied together to ensure that our air quality wasn’t harmed by activities in ANOTHER country? Now its time to stand up for clean air that is in danger by a plan from our neighbour, METRO VANCOUVER.
Lets make it clear that incineration in this airshed, is NOT a good waste management option.
MAY 15, at 11:45 there will be a rally outside the Abbey Arts Center : 2329 Crescent Way to share the other side on garbage burning in the Valley. Please be there. Bring your families, your friends, your coworkers and remember that the air we breathe matters.
More information on solid waste incineration is available HERE.
Lets do this Abbotsford.
