Incinerators need to be to be operated at the correct temperature or pollution will occur.

Scientist and researcher Michael Ryan has official figures which claim that infant death rates increase near incinerators.

Where are the Government measures to get supermarkets to stop excess plastic packaging?

Councils should recycle all types of plastic and end this “bin it and burn it” wastefulness, as we need to leave natural resources for future generations!

If a material cannot be recycled then it shouldn’t be allowed to be used as packaging.
