Burning waste pollutes the air and warms the climate. What’s more, Emerald is planning a massive expansion of its incinerator in Peel, which is one of the biggest industrial polluters in Brampton. Instead, this false solution will foist more waste and air pollution on a community that is already overburdened with both.

Most household appliances, like furnaces and water heaters, are powered by fossil fuels and emit nitrogen oxides (NOx) —toxic and highly reactive gases that endanger human health and the environment. Zero-NOx appliance standards would benefit public health, cut greenhouse gas pollution, and create jobs.
