memory sliding a bit here...
back in the day, my grandparents in a housing projects.(I moved in with my g’mother 4 years after my g’father passed on)

All our garbage was incinerated. Cans\Bottles - everything-—down the chute.
Nobody thought about those kinds of things (aerosols etc...).

Place was all concrete and steel. Windows were leaded-lined.(had left-over ww2 blackout shades)
Had a tuff time hanging pictures

Interesting thing is, the incinerators provided energy\winter heat for the whole flipping projects.
Then the smog fairies took over and ended that - long after we left.

It’s river property that had been condemned. It was a great place to live until the blacks from Cabrini-Green started fleeing that jungle and makin our place a jungle. We adiosed in ‘68.
The place is now in the process of being re-imaged as new living with part of it completed.

Back to the subject...I wonder why he haven’t figured out a way to burn our garbage without have the climate people have heart attacks.

A trash-burner plant was built on the south side of Columbus, Ohio during the late 1970s and early 1980s. It was online for maybe a year or two when researchers reported that cancer-causing dioxins were being released into the atmosphere. The multi-million dollar project was decommissioned and torn down shortly later. Not sure of the accuracy of those reports. Would be interesting to hear from those who understood that science,
