This edition is brought to you in partnership with the No Burn Pilipinas campaign of the Eco-Waste Coalition, under the Break Free from Plastic project. Davao City is pursuing a plan to build a waste to energy plant, and environmentalists are not convinced this should be the way to go. According to representatives from No Burn Philippines and Interfacing Development Interventions, there are already policies in place that make sure that garbage is segregated at source, that organic waste is composted at home, and that recyclables are recycled and no longer need to make their way to the city's garbage piles. 

This podcast episode is made possible by a grant from No Burn Pilipinas.
