Do note that while "burning trash" sounds absolutely horrific one shouldn't imagine setting fire to a garbage dump but more a factory where trash goes in on one side, and power and ash come out the other. There's fairly stringent requirements on what sort of thing is allowed to come out the chimney.
All in all it's probably not worse than running a coal plant.
- dogma1138 8y agoNo, one should imagine exactly that as open landfills are set a blaze to burn trash from all over Europe and in fact the world. Unless this looks like a power plant to you: https://assets.bwbx.io/images/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/iZWE1fyTym4w/v1/1000x-1.jpg https://assets.bwbx.io/images/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/iZWE1fyTym4... This has been going on in 100's of landfills in Poland and in other parts of Europe for years now, this year its exceptionally bad for many reasons. This is institutionalized intentional practice that is been swept under the rug for far too long.
- Doxin 8y agoWell jezus that is horrific, but I doubt that that is legal anywhere in europe. Doesn't stop people from doing it anyways obviously but still. Over here (the Netherlands) burning trash looks like this: http://medias.photodeck.com/67e4af84-ce8c-4b05-86e1-a75e521db727/300735_xgaplus.jpg http://medias.photodeck.com/67e4af84-ce8c-4b05-86e1-a75e521d...
