yuk. The dishonesty of greenwash. Zero to landfill is not a thing. Incinerators are not designed to produce 'energy for homes' - 80% of the energy simply goes up in smoke, most comes from burning plastic (a fossil fuel) very inefficiently, huge carbon footprint. Please be honest!

Great thread on the waste / landfill problem in SE Asia (note very different to UK if well managed landfill) - this point is crucial
Diverting food scraps and other organics before they enter a landfill is crucial to limiting future emissions. The impact of legacy dumps can be mitigated through aerating piles of trash and gas capture systems: teapawt.net/Quicktake/status/15517… 7/10

Private Eye’s Rotten Boroughs, renowned for exposing goings-on in local govt, takes Tory-led @GlosCC to task over decision not to publish auditor's report into the #JavelinPark incinerator until after the elections.
"How convenient!” ironically remarked @PrivateEyeNews.

Shocking waste of public money to build monstrosity known as Javelin Park incinerator is exposed Private Eye's Rotten Boroughs

Eye 16 Apr: Gloucestershire voters again denied chance to find out UBB’s £613 million waste incinerator contract, the County's largest ever, was illegal. 4 yrs later, ‘independent’ report by auditors Grant Thornton, who have received £700k in fees from Council, expected in May.

Fantastic investigative journalism breaks the story of scandal in Gloucestershire which has led to huge environmental harm and £10m's waste of public money on the biggest contract ever for @GlosCC @CommunityR4C
This is a story about billion pound tax breaks, backroom deals and a "low carbon" industry that is almost as polluting (per kWh) as coal. My investigation into the UK's waste to energy scandal for @Source_Mat @Telegraph source-material.org/blog/dir… 1/
