P-04-326 No to Incineration

Petition wording:

We call upon the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government to revise its planning policy and policy on residual waste  to provide a presumption against the building of incinerators, which send most of the carbon from waste into the air as CO2, emit ultra-fine particles that can be damaging to health, and create toxic ash. We believe that incineration is bad for the environment and bad for people.
