Green group Interfacing Development Interventions for Sustainability has expressed its disappointment over the statement issued by Davao City’s 1st District Councilor Temujin “Tek” Ocampo saying there are misconceptions that the Waste-To-Energy is hazardous to health.
The group reminded Ocampo about the Precautionary Principle which was mentioned in many Supreme Court decisions that “when human activities may lead to threats of serious and irreversible damage to the environment that is scientifically plausible but uncertain, actions shall be taken to avoid or diminish that threat.”
That waste incineration is also a major carbon emitter according to Lee Bell, POPs and Mercury Policy advisor for the International Pollution Elimination Network , who highlighted a recent study by the Center for International Environmental Law that incineration of plastic waste generates large quantities of carbon and carbon equivalent emissions.
