We love the United Nations but please drop incineration, including "waste-to-energy" incineration. It is anything but zero waste. It is harmful to environment and health, very costly, and promotes wasteful consumption.
📢 Civil Society to UN-HABITAT: Drop "Waste-to-Energy", Support Real Zero Waste Solutions!

GAIA and over 100 civil society groups across five continents are calling on UN-HABITAT to stop promoting "waste-to-energy" incineration—a harmful, outdated, and unjust approach to waste management.
