Thousands of residents in the Panyu district in the Guangdong provincial capital city of Guangzhou have signed a petition opposing construction of a garbage incinerator in their neighborhood.
“Although relevant government departments have promised the facility will meet the State’s environment protection requirements, we still worry the project will pollute the environment and harm our health,” said a resident from Riverside Garden housing development.
Burning garbage will generate dioxin, which can cause cancers, said the resident, who only gave his family name Wang.
In Wang’s housing estate alone, more than 1,300 residents have so far signed up to oppose construction of the project, according to Wang.
“I believe the number of residents who oppose the project will continue to grow in the following months,” Wang told China Daily Monday.
Those info are from China Daily, this serious problem is going on and come not come to an end. People are still trying to change the plan, but it seems impossible since there is big profit nearly 50000 million RMB behind it.
