You must be drawing an "enemy of my enemy...Wastech? <BR/>You must be drawing an "enemy of my enemy is my friend" inference! Indeed, Wastech is threatened by incinerator proposals because they've put their money on landfills. <BR/>Zero Waste Vancouver, on the other hand, is determined to slay both dragons. Right now *fire* is the more urgent threat. Political leaders in our region have already begun to seriously question the wisdom of trucking garbage to remote landfills, but they are at risk of being been swayed by the alse promises of the incinerator salesmen. <BR/>(To give Wastech credit: they were the Deep Pockets behind the failed composting plant in Squamish ~ and they are rumored to own the Canadian rights to the Gore Cover composting system that is being trialed at the Vancouver Landfill... they may have figured out which way the wind blows!)Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06969353111049292373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5246639650182663283.post-78540463825804123942007-12-06T16:40:00.000-08:002007-12-06T16:40:00.000-08:00Who runs this blog?
