GUANGZHOU, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) — Hundreds of people in a south China city went to the streets earlier this week to protest a planned garbage incinerator project. They highlighted a growing problem for China's booming cities.
The protestors were demanding the local
government scrap(取消,废弃) the proposed incinerator plant(垃圾焚烧厂), which, they claimed, would release cancercausing substances into the air.
But for city administrators it meant finding other alternatives to overflowing landfills. The government and residents have been sharply divided on whether to build the plant since late September when the plan was first unveiled. “It is really absurd. How can the
government come up with such an idea? More than 300,000 people are living around the incinerator plant.” “But our current waste disposal capabilities cannot cope with the increasing amount of household garbage. It is an urgent, practical and inevitable problem,” a government deputy said.
“After years of deliberation, the municipal government has decided to develop trashfired power plants as they do not occupy much land and can utilize
resources very efficiently,” said Xu Jianyun, deputy director of the Guangzhou Municipal Committee of Urban Administration. He said the city, with a population of more than 10 million, generates up to 12,000 tons of household garbage each day. “If new waste treatment facilities are not built, Guangzhou will face a huge garbage crisis over the next two years,” he said.
