A case in point is the attitude towards incinerators. If we are to deal with the waste issue, we cannot continue to use landfills where waste is out of sight and out of mind. We must eradicate waste properly and, in some cases, the only option will be to use an incinerator. Despite this, whenever and wherever local authorities attempt to develop such a waste management option, they are met with fierce local resistance. Inevitably, development is held up for years. The country simply cannot afford to maintain this approach. The incinerators being developed these days, which are the incinerators which would be introduced here, are top of the range. They produce very little pollution and pose a far smaller environmental risk than any landfill site. Incineration is much less of a threat to health and less likely to contaminate the water supply or attract rodents and other disease carrying animals to a particular area. Despite these facts, we seem intent on putting as many roadblocks as possible in the way of developing a successful incineration scheme.
