GREENWASH website from councils dumping rubbish in Cardiff

PROJECT GREEN Prosiect Gwyrdd
Prosiect Gwyrdd is a partnership between, Caerphilly Borough County Council, The County Council of the City and County of Cardiff, Monmouthshire County Council, Newport Council and Vale of Glamorgan Council
partners in project 'green' to build an incinerator and burn all their rubbish in cardiff!.
The combined municipal waste of the five authorities makes up 40% of the total municipal waste of Wales to come through Cardiff in hundreds of lorries every day? Are they crazy?

They have writen to FOE to ask for a link to their new greenwash website!! No mention of the INCINERATOR word!!! Please say if you spot it! No mention that planning permission has been sought for a massive incinerator. Please correct me if I am wrong.
