Headline: Waste Incineration Becomes UK's Most Polluting Power Source
Caption: Burning household waste to produce electricity has become the dirtiest method of power generation in the UK, according to a BBC analysis. Nearly half of UK household rubbish, including a growing amount of plastic, is now incinerated. Scientists warn this practice is disastrous for the climate producing the same level of greenhouse gases as coal power, which the UK recently phased out. Some are even calling for a ban on new incinerators.
