Reducing harm has to be something everyone can agree on.
So how should companies be communicating the potential harms of incinerators?
Yeah, so Peter says that the companies that manage incinerators should consider and listen to the community.
And this is really important because, like we just said, a lot of incinerators are in lower-income communities or communities of color, and they often have less say in what gets built around them.
And if people do live near an incinerator, Peter says it's important for the industry to be transparent with them about the monitoring and emissions data.
That would be cool.
And while more research is being done about incinerators, at least I hope, fingers crossed, do we build more of them?
Do we get rid of them?
Yeah, it's hard to say, right?
But both sides were in total agreement about one thing.
We need less trash altogether.
That is so interesting that they all agree we need less trash, including those who want to see incinerators be a trash solution in our communities.
Yeah.
And so they all agree, which kind of gives me hope, right?
There's no good way to get rid of trash and it has to be dealt with somewhere.
But before you do that, always consider ways that you can reduce, reuse, recycle or compost.
Sticking in those alternatives to trash right at the end.
Nicely done.
Angela Zhang, Stanford Health Equity Media Fellow.
Thank you so much for this reporting.
