We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to to support the people of Leicestershire in the fight against the plans to site an incinerator at Bardon which will effect many local villagers, businesses and also bring chaos to the roads around Ellistown & Battleflat. More details
Submitted by Wayne McDermott of Bantheburner – Deadline to sign up by: 23 October 2009 – Signatures: 101
More details from petition creator
Incinerators produce massive amounts of Carbon Dioxide, far more than a conventional gas fired powered station.
They are not economic and generate electricity at only around 35% efficiency, compared to over 65% by power stations.
Recycling is cheaper and greener than incineration
Whatever enters the incinerator leaves the facility, either to landfill or ‘sky-fill’. Carbon dioxide, dioxins and acid gases are not present in the waste; they are all created by the burning. Burning plastic inefficiently in incinerators is not the way to manage residual wastes, making it much harder to meet climate change targets. Disposing of a community’s wastes may be their biggest contribution to climate change.
