Nottingham Against Incineration and Landfill [NAIL] Protest against expansion

Tash [alan lodge] | 20.05.2005 22:49 | Ecology | Health | Social Struggles | Sheffield

On friday afternoon, the residence of Snienton and surrounding areas of Nottingham, came to protest against an Incinerators expansion plans. The company, Waste Recycling Group Ltd [WRG], are preparing a planning application for expansion. We went along to make our feelings known.






















On friday afternoon, the residence of Snienton and surrounding areas of Nottingham, came to protest against an Incinerators expansion plans. The company, Waste Recycling Group Ltd [WRG], are preparing a planning application for expansion, and in support of this, had organised an exhibition at The Masson Suite in Nottingham County Football Club. We went along to see it, and to make our feelings known.

People protested at the entrance to the club in Meadow Lane. Banners held, leaflets handed out, and a discussion held with the organisers of the exhibition, from the plant.

**********

This is Nottingham Against Incineration and Landfill [NAIL] case against the proposed expansion.

Nottingham's Eastcroft municipal incinerator is proposing to expand its facility, please support our campaign to prevent the expansion of this unnecessary, highly polluting, poorly regulated plant.

Our Labour City Council is supporting the expansion that will see other people’s waste being imported from the surroundings counties, to be incinerated in Nottingham to pollute our air. At NAIL we want our City to enter into the 21st Century and put incineration in the past, where it belongs.

We are campaigning to get our City Council to stop supporting the incinerator, oppose the expansion plans and end its contract with Waste Recycling Group and improve on its appallingly low recycling rate of 9 only %.

We must end the madness of incineration and the continued pollution of our most precious resource, air the substance of life.

We have a right to breath air free of dust, heavy metals, chemicals and substances that we know are highly poisonous and cause cancer.

Incinerators do NOT destroy waste, it is one of the fundamental principles of science that matter can never be destroyed; it can only ever be transformed. Incinerators basically turn rubbish into ash, gases and particulate matter. These gases and the poisons are spewed into the atmosphere, to the air, which we breathe. Eventually they fall to earth where we consume the poisons through our food.

Incinerators DO NOT destroy waste, our rubbish still exists we may see less of it, but we’re inhaling and eating it instead.


Why should the expansion be stopped.

Nottingham City has one of the lowest recycling rates in the country, only 9%. Instead of increasing this to a more acceptable level, it is proposed to increase the incineration rate by building a third line and importing other people’s waste! Proposals could mean that waste is imported in Nottingham from Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire and incinerated in Nottingham to poison the residents of Nottingham.

Incinerators are highly polluting and poorly regulated.

They contribute to global warming.

They produce ‘Acid Rain’ gases.

Other wastes include toxic heavy metals, such as mercury, lead, cadmium, chromium, tin, and other poisons such as PCB's and Dioxins, which are extremely cancerous.

The most poisonous substances, such as PCB's and Dioxins are only spot measured twice a year, so the overall discharged levels are estimated levels.

Traffic delivering rubbish to the plant and removing ash will increase by 50 % leading to local disturbance and pollution.

The incinerator costs Nottingham's Council Tax payers around a £1,000,000 per year.

Much of what the incinerator burns waste, which could otherwise be recycled, thereby reducing pollution & employing more people.

The current plant regularly breaches its authorised emission levels.

Recycling paper uses 67% less energy than manufacturing it from raw wood pulp.

Recycling 1 aluminium drink can save enough energy to run a TV for 5 hours.


Did you know?

Most of Nottingham City’s waste is incinerated, NOT recycled.
The proposed expansion will lead to industrial waste being imported from the surrounding area.
Manufacturing paper from recycled material not only save forests, but uses a third of the energy requirements than manufacturing it from wood pulp.
Up to 80 % of household waste can be recycled.
The City Council is losing £1 million per year of your money as a result of its heating contract with the incinerator
A British study of municipal incinerators published in 2000 found that children living within 5km of an incinerator had twice the rate of leukaemia and cancers of other children.
The Sint Niklaas incinerator in Belgium met E.U safety limits but was shown to cause a 480% increase in cancer amongst local residents and shortened life spans by 12 years - it was shut down.

Waste Disposal equipment does not comply to EU regulations

18.01.2006 02:51

I have found the main componet in air extraction systems does not comply to EU law
on a number accounts... The major one is not only nanoparticals being produced and CChem
trails... But also electropollution, super sonic, sub-sonic noise and infa-sound.
Which its known for in the USA.. Yet its still been exported to the UK.

They give off a typlical 1Kh whine which can not be balanced out..
Older systems used gas turbine systems which were more readly balanced..
But the new systems are much smaller and more powerful than old air extraction systems.
Computerised technology is much more powerful than previous technology use.

However the experts installing this technology still see it as less powerful; because its smaller. Their metering system is not able to read the true output and they are being sold as
power effeicient for a number of reasons. The manufactures are aware, but trading standards
is so inactive even my attemted of telling both my local trading standards and others nationwide they just ignore the problem.

From an electropollution problem or BSI CE/EMC law: (electromagnetic Compatibility)
The device is too powerful to earth, filter and shield. Creating huge electrostatic fields which amplify not only nanopaticles being produced, making them more "sticky"..

Part of the system is driven by a motor called an inverter drive..
A rotating or vibrating magent..
A simular device is used to create static fields to draw the particles on to a fine filter.
The problem is this process create a concentration of extra fine particles, which then get releasted into the air, which results in CChem trails, this then can cross the "blood brain barrier".

The inverter drive under other patents is the basis of much of today`s technology it can produce toxic substance out of clean air. As in an ion drive system...
However since around 1930/40 the 3 powers created Radar and nuclear radition out of simular magnetic systems... Cyclotron which is in modern day MRI machines...
Acording to a resent report these could be band in 2008, because of the radiation they are giving off.. (meters rather than mathmatics is being used to calcualted the power)

Even though this device was warned about in the 1950`s its gone through secracy laws and
(the FDA band it at least 3 times) got back on the open market since about 1990..
The military use it as a communication, propultion and non-leathal weapon system.
Most experts think they are dealing with the same power distabution as a car engine, not the
same power distabution as a nuclear reaction, or particle accelorator.

The inverter drive is being sold as GREEN energy in wind turbines and solar panels.
Radiocommunication Agancy (OFCOM) said it was known for Sick Building Syndrom.
The various government departments I`ve spoken to over a good 10+ year period ignore the seriouness... So the problem is way out of hand...
The NHS recongise computers produce Ozone, but they don`t understand what in a computer causes ozone to be produced..

Serious solutions are needed..
Technology has change the world on many levels..
