The Project '
Gwyrdd'/Project
Green Incinerator roadshow protest went very well on Tuesday in Cardiff (see more action and news coverage below) - people were very keen to hear what we had to say and learn the facts. The roadshow is led by an ex journalist turned PR person Ian since 9 months ago actually 'a twist the facts' bloke' to convince the public that incineration is 'green'. However he could not compete with our scientists! He was desperately waving around
proof emmm documents written and paid by the incinerator industry to prove incineration was great! Ian the Prosiect '
Gwyrdd' incinerator Spin bloke was telling us on Tuesday that cars put out more dioxins than incineration does. It turns out this is incredibly false.
The Environment Agency reported in 2007 ("UK Soil and Herbage Pollutant Survey") that transport generates 1% of the UK's dioxin output, while incineration contributes *eleven* percent. Incineration remains the biggest single contributor to dioxins other than accidents (house fires).
Communications officer Spin bloke Ian Lloyd-Davies, Prosiect
Gwyrdd Incinerator said the scheme is a “low-carbon” solution to dealing with waste and reduce the amount set to landfill. When asked about the environmental impact of the proposed incinerators, he said there is “no perfect solution" - couldn't make it up!
