Doctors Against the Edmonton Incinerator

A group of doctors protesting against the North London Waste Authority’s plans to expand the Edmonton Energy from Waste (EfW) incinerator

[Doctors Against the Edmonton Incinerator @DoctorsEdmonton]

"Doctors and all health professionals have a responsibility, an obligation, to engage in all kinds of non-violent social protest to address the climate emergency. This is the duty of a doctor."

@connectNLWA, we call bullsh*t

[Georgia Elliott-Smith @georgiaes]

No filter removes ultrafine dust putting toxins into our blood. The incinerator produces millions of tons CO2 burning recyclable plastic with no carbon capture. They pay no tax like landfill & power stations. Now tell us this is a green solution @EnfieldCouncil @LondonLabour 3/3

@GeraintDaviesMP @APPGairpoll Today, 1yr after coroner's verdict that 9yo Ella Kissi-Debrah died of air pollution, we ask the UK govt to act on #AirPollution. Wales & Scotland have moratoriums on waste incineration. @BorisJohnson, time to stop new incinerators all over UK. @theCCCuk @UKWIN_Network #CleanAir

[Geraint Davies @GeraintDaviesMP]

MPs & Peers ask Prime Minister to halt waste incineration growth & tax incineration following @APPGairpoll report that ultra-fine particulates breach waste incineration filters and attack vital organs & increase Covid risk.

[Big Issue @BigIssue]

Today, campaigners in London are protesting an expansion to Edmonton incinerator. They're part of a growing UK movement who say burning rubbish is a danger to humans and the planet:

Let's take a path that moves away from the polluting ways of our past and towards green solutions.

NLWA must halt the rebuild of the Edmonton Incinerator. https://t.co/G0FEM2JY6w

[Tessa Clarke @TessaLFClarke]

Burning our waste is *not* the solution especially when “in north London recycling rates are only 30% and more than half of the incinerated waste is readily recyclable”

Our weekly news round up tonight has a long report on the #EdmontonIncinerator campaign, an interview with @Pal_action activist found not guilty last week, plus much much more. https://t.co/JzccM33fJQ

What says you @GracieMaeW @Nesil_Caliskan @perayahmet? Who is telling the truth about the pollution impacts of the Edmonton incinerator? Clyde Loakes- chair for 14 years of the @connectNLWA and board member of @LondonEnergyLtd- or the APPG on Air Pollution? You decide

Incinerators are not the solution to the waste crisis.
☠️ They're bad for our health.
🌎 They're bad for the climate.

@connectNLWA needs to stop the Edmonton incinerator now. #pauseandreview @StopTheRebuild

Retweet if you agree!

[Campaign against Climate Change @campaigncc]

MPs call for a moratorium on new waste incinerators as North London councils are about to vote on huge new incinerator in Edmonton.

[Kate Osamor MP @KateOsamor]

I support @APPGairpoll call for an urgent halt on incinerator expansion. We cannot risk being locked into hazardous waste incineration for decades to come.

I continue to call for a pause and review of the Edmonton Incinerator project.

@hackneycouncil You would be much more credible if you weren't ranked 316 / 345 for recycling rates in England.

Your commitment is to hit recycling targets. Chop chop.
