Ontario produces too much waste, and instead of addressing the problem at the source, the provincial government is promoting burning garbage as the answer.
Burning garbage doesn’t make waste disappear. It creates new problems like toxic ash and air pollution. It’s a bad idea, especially for communities like Brampton—where a private company is seeking a permit to build Canada’s largest waste incinerator. If it goes ahead, this one facility would have the capacity to burn the equivalent of one-third of all Ontario’s household garbage, spewing toxic smoke into one of Canada’s fastest-growing communities.
Join our webinar to learn more about Ontario’s plan to burn more garbage, the negative impacts and real solutions to reduce waste and keep valuable resources from being destroyed.
