On 5 September 2011 Cardiff Against the Incinerator activists held an unveiling ceremony to rename the road leading to the proposed incinerator site.

National Assembly incinerator protest

A big thank you to everyone who attended the Cardiff Incinerator Protest at the National Assembly building in Cardiff Bay on 12 October. About 30 people attended which is good for a week day. Our message is really getting through to those who matter. We need to keep up the pressure if we are to succeed.

Say no to Plastic Bags!

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Throwing things away is a waste of the resources and energy that have been used to make the product.

If we reduce, reuse and recycle instead of throwing things away, fewer new materials need to be quarried, mined or grown to make new things.

Garden waste can be composted reducing your waste by up to 40 percent.

No to Incineration

The combustion of waste at high temperatures:

• Encourages more waste.
• Uses up energy.
• Causes pollution.

Incinerators need large amounts of rubbish to operate. To meet demand, local authorities are abandoning recycling and waste reduction plans.
