Action against Incinerator at Begas Office in Austria

Greenpeace protests in front of the main office of Begas against the planned construction of an incineration plant in Heiligenkreuz. Dressed up as garbage men and women, the activists drop a huge amount of garbage in front of the entrance of the building, demanding that Begas quits ist involvement in this project. Greenpeace calculates that the Begas would have to import about 300.000 tons of garbage from other countries to run this plant, since there is not that much garbage in Austria. This would iniciate garbage import at large scale in Austria.
