Wide open road, narrowed because of cars parked on both sides.

Waste to Energy plants are being set up in other parts of the country too, despite evidence of incineration causing extreme air pollution in Delhi. Stop this before it's too late. #CannotBreatheInDelhi#NoBurn
Waste and Resource Management in 2013, estimates that the informal waste economy employs about 0.5-2 per cent of the urban population worldwide. In Delhi the 3 lakh waste pickers are bearing the brunt of the WTE incinerators. #CannotBreatheInDelhi#WastePickersMatter
In Delhi, Large, heavy-duty diesel sanitation trucks that collect and haul municipal solid waste release harmful substances. Host communities face health burdens and risks associated with chronic exposure to such diesel particulates! #CannotBreatheInDelhi#12YearsLost#NoBurn
Financials of air pollution causing WTEs in Delhi- The annual income of the SPV in charge of the Okhla WtE TOWMCL, has remained stable between approximately Rs.58 to 62 crores for the last 4 years. However, PAT has been on a decline. #CannotBreatheInDelhi#StopFundingWTE
Vehicles are taken away even from gated societies without any prior notice despite having valid registration and fitness certificates. But the waste to energy plants that have been fined 25 lakhs for polluting the air by the NGT are still operating. #CannotBreatheInDelhi
In 2021 the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) slapped a fine of Rs. 5 lakhs on each of the WtE plants for emissions well above the environmental standards. #CannotBreatheInDelhi
Delhi is generating 14,100 metric tonnes of mixed waste every day, and improper management of the waste by dumping in landfills or burning in incinerators have had a huge toll on Delhi's air pollution. #CannotBreatheInDelhi#NoBurn
Scrapped! The proposed expansion of Waste-to-energy plants in Delhi, which would burn an additional 6000 tons of garbage daily, will lead to alarming levels of air pollution. This pollution has been linked to a decrease in the lifespan of Delhiites by 12 years, in clear violation
For causing air pollution, the National Green Tribunal slapped a fine of Rs. 25 lakhs on the Okhla Waste to energy plant in Delhi in 2017 for releasing 800-900% more dioxins and furans, and other emissions. #CannotBreatheInDelhi
Why burn waste when the informal sector in Delhi, is contributing a lot in terms of environmental sustainability and circular economy. It also reduces the economic burden of urban local bodies. #CannotBreatheInDelhi#WastePickersMatter https://t.co/RxF7k1kUsV
Delhi's air is severely impacted by the non-compliances of the WTE incineration plants, resulting in toxic emissions and health hazards for locals. Just how ‘green' are these facilities? #CannotBreatheInDelhi#12YearsLost#NoBurn
Financials of air pollution causing WTEs in Delhi- From March 2017 to March 2020, Delhi MSW Solutions (Narela Bawana) recorded an increasing total income, but the company's PAT was still negative. #CannotBreatheInDelhi#StopFundingWTE
