		We particularly object to the proposed incinerators in Hsinchu and Miaoli and the existing incinerator in Nanliao, conscious of the grave threats these burners pose on the Taiwanese people's health, their environment and livelihood.
		We find it hard to believe that the County governments are firmly pushing for the construction of the incinerators despite the confirmation made by the EPA that new waste burners are unnecessary and, if built, will result in overcapacity.
		Also, this risky proposition should not be used to justify the construction of the contentious incinerators, for it violates the polluter pays principle: the taxpayers subsidize the incinerators, while the industrial waste is generated by the industry.
