wow... that's horrible Skylah.

I can't believe the difference in the sky in that picture.

And we complain here about the "smog."

It's NOTHING compared to what you are dealing with.

I hope things get better soon.

Wow skylah, I feel sorry for ya. And I thought the smog in Houston was bad. Thats freakin ridiculous. Who's bright idea was this? They cant clear land with bulldozers and dump trucks? They gotta set it on fire? How does that conversation go?

Dude 1: Hey we need to clear all this land, whats the easiest way to do it?
Dude 2: Well we could respect the surrounding areas and spend a few months clearing it the proper way, with heavy equipment.
Dude 3: F that, lets just set the whole place on fire.
Dude 1: BRILLIANT!! That wont piss anyone off....

I hate people.

Somewhere around here I've got pictures of me in a sandstorm in Baghdad that looks something like that only brown. That's awful though, I'm so sorry you have to deal with that. Is there no kind of environmental protection laws?

As I read, these are more rural farmers with out access to heavy equipment rental depots and if they did have no money to spend on such frivilous equipment. There is obviously no reprecussion from the law and the land needs to be cleared. The law arent going to shut down farmers, they rely on the crop, and they have no money to fine them for.

Its a sad situation but its more of a social and economic condition than a simple matter of finding a new clearing solution. One could even go so far as to argue that theres little wrong with them using a cheap, natural method to clear their lands for farm use and provide a living for themselves.

Like I said, its a situation. Hopefully Malay and Indonesian leaders will find a solution.

I'm with Daijaga on this one, guys. It sucks, but fire really is one of the best ways to clear things, and probably is better for the environment than the diesel-using dumptrucks and crap. Smoke doesn't kill the ozone layer m'dears. At least, not woodsmoke.

Just hang tight.
