The picture shows the waste incinerator of Vienna, Austria, which provides a very interesting and instructive example of how a community can successfully resolve a problem of environmental risk. The previous incinerator had caught fire in 1986, causing intense fear of toxic air pollutants and deep distrust of incinerators among the population of Vienna. But since alternatives such as landfills were not desirable, for a variety of environmental and technical reasons, the city decided to render a new incinerator acceptable by choosing the best technology with the lowest possible emission of pollutants. The city succeeded in convincing the painter and architect Hundertwasser, well known in Austria as an ardent environmentalist, that this incinerator would be the best solution for Vienna, and he agreed to design the exterior. This was coupled with a campaign of open communication; for example the emissions are displayed publicly in real time, and there is a visitor center to encourage people to visit the site and to explain the technology.
