Toxics Action against the construction of a new incinerator at Basingstoke that would emit large quantities of dioxin chemicals into the air.
Activists from anti-incineration groups across the UK joined forces with Greenpeace to halt the construction of the new Basingstoke incinerator. Around 100 activists invaded the plant of Basingstoke due to open in October 2002. If allowed to start burning household rubbish the new incinerator would emit large quantities of dioxin chemicals that get into the food chain and cause cancer. The Government had recently warned that a third of UK adults and half of Britain's babies and toddlers take in more dioxins that is safe.
