GAIA US Canada’s Community Tools for Anti-Incineration Organizing resource is designed to support community organizers and advocates in both new and existing incineration campaigns. The toolkit is informed by the experiences of GAIA members around the world who have mobilized their own communities and allies to fight for a world without waste-burning.
It includes detailed information on:
- The history of incineration and its ongoing environmental, health, and safety impacts
- How to find out crucial information about your incinerator, including how it works and who controls its continued operation
- Strategies and timelines for organizing your community to shut down your incinerator and guide a just transition for workers and residents
- Case studies of two communities fighting incineration and landfilling, which can provide blueprints for your own campaign
