Burning the fields

[bubblegum]

Like the air quality is good around Surin, misfit farmers keep on burning the fields while the authorities are to drunk to even notice. Believe me I live next door to the sheriff.

Is that it? how can you roll a topic on with a no brainer brief like this one, i live here too tell us more ? like .... you shot the sheriff next door whilst chewing your " bubblegum" so go ahead & make my day ????

[Matzzon]

Yep, as I thought. There is only one word after the first comma that was important. Even, with that as a fact, you just forgot to refer to yourself.

Come to Mae Sot and you can experience real burning. Surrounded left, right, and center by some of the most remote and Pristine jungles in SEA and our air quality was 165 last week.

Nothing will happen until the Thias take to the streets in demonstration.

 

If the Thais do not care, or are to AFRAID to speak...nothing will change.

I live near Surin. Not bothered in the slightest. Sugar fires last maybe five to ten minutes. A bit of black "snow". Nothing that concerns me. Actually I like to watch cane fires.

Do you make the kids wear masks when boxing/training?

I am full of hope that you have no kids and you stand with them beside the fires to watch - without masks.

I also like to pitch in and give them a hand at destroying their own country and children's health and future whenever possible. Destroying the environment and atmosphere with toxic smoke is a true freedom that most westerners will never experience in their lifetime. Kudos to the local authorities for protecting those freedoms. ????

Hope the sheriff won't read your post ... ????

The main thing that does have to happen is for them to be shown a better way, I get all the rice straw I can to make compost, I even trade some of the stuff I have grown to get it.

The cane growers have to be told repeatedly that they get extra for unburnt cane and find uses for the left over trash the make a little extra.

It is the Thais who are doing it, if they dont have a field to burn they burn their rubbish by the roadside including plastics.

If the Thais take to the streets, the soldiers will come out and use all that fancy new military equipment they just bought against the people that paid for it.

 I also live next door to a fine example of law enforcement. Last week he was in our local noodle shop armed and in uniform and was so drunk he had <deleted> his self, it was only 4 in the afternoon and school kids were laughing at him. But being a true professional he still managed to ask if I could get him a beer.

I also live in Surin and the burning season seems to have just started near me.

 

I monitor the pollution levels and they seem worse in the mornings until about 10am after some sneaky night time burning.

 

 

I have a HEPA air filter running in the bedroom at night. I also have a whole house air filtration that I can run if I want to lock the house down tight.

I'm south of BS n Kap Choeng and its only cain that is burnt as all rice straw is either bailed for cattle or plowed back. They have been burning cain for about 4 weeks around me and the pollution to me has been minimal.

There are cheaper ones if you just wanted air quality checking for PM2.5 but I wanted the CO2 as well.
