Canadian debate over burning tires versus recycling reignites with N.S. proposal
BROOKFIELD, N.S. — Lydia Sorflaten flips through decade-old clippings showing how she and her neighbours stopped a nearby cement plant from burning tires at a kiln 500 metres from their tranquil Nova Scotia lake.
But there’s a news report on top of the pile from earlier this month that confirms their fight isn’t over.
“It’s very discouraging,” the 72-year-old says as she sits at neighbour Ken Warren’s dining room table, stacks of studies piled high.
“The people spoke. Where’s the memory? How is this happening again?”
