From Davis Bisson.
WHILE setting my fire this morning, I briefly read the article about the concerns of our environmentalists with regard to the effects of the new La Collette incinerator on nearby sea life.

While I am totally supportive of the common-sense approach towards the protection of the environment, in this particular instance I think that a more concerning issue is the damage which has been done to the hundreds of people who live in close proximity to the existing Bellozanne facility and the urgent need to close it down.

In today’s political climate, it is difficult to conceive how the desecration of Bellozanne Valley would have been approved. A sewage farm and an incinerator within a few hundred yards of a densely populated area. Like it or not, La Collette is the nearest thing we have to an industrial estate – far better to utilise it than spread blots on the landscape throughout the Island.

The obvious solution to the survival of Planet Earth is the removal of the human race in its entirety; as a political policy, I doubt, however, that this would be found acceptable.
