I am environmental advocate and civic activist based in Riga, Latvia. 
Waste incineration is one of the most controversial questions in Europe’s waste and climate policy.
For too long, it’s been sold as a quick fix to shrink landfills and produce energy. But the truth is clear: pollutes the environment, fuels climate change, and diverts us from real solutions like reduction, reuse, and recycling. 
People need to hear about the alternatives and why incineration belongs to the past.
