A Global Alliance for Incineration Alternatives report found that 2,347,000 total direct jobs would be generated with a 75% diversion rate for municipal solid waste (MSW) and construction and demolition debris (C&amp;D) by 2030. Diverting waste also protects communities from the health hazards associated with landfills and incinerators, such as climate change, pests, and air and water pollution. Diverting waste means keeping more trash out of our oceans, great lakes, and other waters, which are important sources of food and drinking water for our communities.<\/p>\n<p>Brenda Platt spoke as a
