I say that burning the garbage is a better alternative than burying it.
We get a lot of rain in this province and burying garbage – no matter where – over 50 years what nature cannot look after, all metals and chemicals will gradually leach out from the ground water system to the creeks and then into the rivers, killing the fish, then the birds and eventually humans.
Burning the garbage – as proposed by the waste-to-energy industry – I believe that the undesirable emissions can be controlled by new technology and is the best choice in the long run.
