In fact, it is expected the decision of the TAR of Catania which will determine whether or not to restart work on the construction of an incinerator in the district to Cannizzola Paternò (CT). Already in recent months many events promoted by the citizens of Etna villages against the construction of this incinerator. In Sicily, the special commissioner for the waste, the regional president, Salvatore Cuffaro, provides for the creation of four incinerators that are located throughout the island.
The protest of citizens has not kept you waiting. Were organized events of all kinds, parades, strikes, was appealed to the Administrative Court of Catania, who has blocked, at the moment, the works. WWF intervened and Legambiente who disapproved of the choice of Cuffaro and have asked to review the siting of incinerators. The protest is stronger for the WTE plant right now that Paterno expects the decision of the TAR. This "monster" that grinds waste should arise in Valley of Simeto, archaeological site and has a delicate water balance.
