Re: [greenyes] RE: [GAIA]ZW goals without incineration?

Annie,
            Don't start celebrating just yet.  While Greenpeace 
Argentina has managed to get the issue on the table for discussion by 
getting the Zero Waste bill introduced into the legislature of the 
Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA), its chances of actual passage 
are widely considered very slim.
            I don't think incineration is considered a serious option 
for waste (other than infectious wastes) by most policymakers in CABA.  
Given the ecological zoning process now in place in the City, any 
incinerator within city limits would be opposed and delayed by years.  
And it appears that the surrounding Province of Buenos Aires (PBA) is 
unwilling to create an incinerator to receive CABA wastes.  Right now 
there is a considerable battle over simply replacing the landfill that 
serves CABA.
Regards,
Keith Ripley
