Dear [representative],

I am writing to you regarding waste incineration. The case for phasing it out is clear. It reduces recycling and composting rates, contributes to climate change, pollutes the air with noxious chemicals, and is a barrier to a zero waste system. See the Plastic Free Swindon and UKWin websites for confirmation of these points and further information:

I ask that you use your position to represent our best interests and actively oppose waste incinceration.

Yours sincerely,

[Your name and address]
