š« Myth: Waste-to-energy incineration is a clean solution for our trash problem.
š Reality: WTE actually ramps up climate pollution, spews toxic air, and produces hazardous ash. It traps cities in a linear waste system, sidelining vital practices like reuse, repair, recycling, and composting.
š Moreover, incinerators often target marginalized communities. Meanwhile, zero-waste systems can help cut emissions and create jobs!
It's time to shift towards circular, low-carbon waste solutions.
