The Brundtland Commission stated that “Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”
Sustainable Guernsey covers the way we live and the changes we can make to lessen our impact on Earth’s resources so that the Earth can continue to provide for future generations.
Climate change will compromise the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Human induced climate change is caused by excessive greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel burning. World human population growth and increasing affluence is depleting natural resources at an unprecedented rate.

The point I wanted to make is that there is yet another area using a green method to deal with the none recyclable waste rather that burn it.
