It's great that people are recycling and re-using plastic. This is an important issue and well done to the individuals in the video.

However, I feel everyone should know who is behind this venture, and who is funding it.

"Waste Not" is funded by the North London Waste Authority. This is the organisation that wants to build a huge incinerator near Edmonton (about 4 miles away from Myddleton Road)

This plan has been the subject of much controversy over the last few years as this incinerator will be extremely polluting.

You can read about it all at these links:

I have noticed that people have started commenting on the video, highlighting the NWLA and their incinerator plans. These comments have appeared briefly and then have been deleted by the channel owner (the NLWA).
