XR activists blockade north London waste incinerator to protest expansion plans

CLIMATE activists blockaded a north London waste incinerator today in protest against a planned expansion of the site. 

Extinction Rebellion members put up bamboo structures outside the gates of the Edmonton EcoPark incinerator, which burns waste for energy, shortly before 6am. 

The group argues that the expansion of the incinerator, sited in one of the poorest boroughs in Britain, is an example of “environmental racism.”
