Breaking News! Detroit Incinerator Snuffed

Breaking News! Detroit Incinerator Snuffed

In June, following the US Social Forum, hundreds of activists in Detroit marched against this incinerator.  Now it has been shut down.

------------------------

The trash burner in Detroit has been turned off - for now.  On Friday
October 8, 2010 the Detroit incinerator shutdown from "economic
factors".  It has been a financial failure, an environmental failure,
a public health failure, a public services failure, a city budget
failure - a failure by undermining the fundamental needs and rights of
the people of Detroit.
