Jeremy, who has appeared in films such as \u201cThe French Lieutenant\u2019s Woman\u201d, was contacted by Ni4H Community Group in the hope of enlisting his support for their campaign on behalf of local residents. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jeremy also sent Ni4H Community Group a copy of his TRASHED environmental documentary film, with music by Vangelis. The film looks into the effect of toxic emissions from incinerators and reveals the extent our rubbish is affecting us and our planet. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blenheim\nFilms said: \u201cWith the participation of Jeremy Irons, Candida Brady\u2019s multi\naward winning documentary looks at the risks to the food chain and the\nenvironment through pollution of our air, land and sea by waste. The film\nreveals surprising truths about very immediate and potent dangers to our\nhealth. It is a global conversation from Iceland to Indonesia between the film\nstar Jeremy Irons and scientists, politicians and ordinary individuals whose\nhealth and livelihoods have been fundamentally affected by waste pollution.\nVisually and emotionally the film is both horrific and beautiful: an interplay\nof human interest and political wake-up call. But it ends on a message of hope:\nshowing how the risks to our survival can easily be averted through sustainable\napproaches that provide far more employment than the current \u2018waste industry\u2019.\u201d\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-wordpress wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-blenheim-films\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video-container\"><blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"xMwOMWSTJV\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blenheimfilms.com\/trashed-film\/\">Trashed Film<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"http:\/\/blenheimfilms.com\/trashed-film\/embed\/#?secret=xMwOMWSTJV\" data-secret=\"xMwOMWSTJV\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" title=\"&#8220;Trashed Film&#8221; &#8212; Blenheim Films\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The film was officially selected\nfor the Cannes Film Festival in 2012 since when it has been released in over 40\ncountries and shown at thousands of special screenings,\nincluding The UK Houses of Parliament and the European Parliament.

Jeremy\u2019s boost to our campaign is timely, however, the community\ncontinues to be at a huge disadvantage to Britaniacrest, who are making this\nappeal, as they have very deep pockets and have instructed one of the best QCs\nin the country to make their pitch. As the Public Inquiry is now only 13 weeks\naway there is added urgency to raise sufficient money, so that Ni4H can afford\na barrister and technical experts, to fully represent local residents in\npresenting the excellent case we have in objecting to building this huge\ncommercial and industrial incinerator north of the A264 in Horsham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rightly people are concerned\nabout their future wellbeing and that of future generations, if the incinerator\ncomes to this area and the wholesale change of character that would be brought\nto our market town and surrounding villages, particularly Warnham, Colgate and\nRusper. If the appeal were to succeed it will negatively impact on many\ngenerations of people in our area over the next 30 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently our local concerns have\nalso been reflected by The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, calling on the\nGovernment to stop permitting the building of \u2018archaic\u2019 polluting waste\nincinerators, as he outlined his opposition to a proposed incinerator in\nBexley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My message to our residents is that in order to make our objections as forcefully as possible, we still need to raise more money to fund full representation at the Public Inquiry, so that our powerful reasons for rejection can be given full weight. &#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Please donate or pledge money by:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Debit\/Credit Card, PayPal or Go Fund Me:<\/strong> via website <a href=\"http:\/\/ni4h.org\">www.ni4h.org<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bank Transfer to NatWest:<\/strong> Sort Code: 53-50-39 Account Number: 55388027 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cheque payable to:<\/strong> \u2018No Incinerator 4 Horsham\u2019 send to Ni4H Chairman, Peter Catchpole, Northlands House, Northlands Road.
