The Pollution Control Department 

Joke of the day!

They mean the burning season has started.

 

And the advent of the smog that will kill many more people than Covid ever did.

 

Dust!

In the above picture it looks like they have the FIRMS  satellite data as to where the fires are located in Thailand

how hard can it be to match that data to the land registry  and prosecute those land owners for the burning year in year out like clockwork.

 

 

They should fine the landowners who's land has been found to have been burnt. 

 

Easy. 

 

Up the the land owners to take responsibility for their land and what is happening on it.

What does “vigilance” mean? look at the map from the office chair ? Or..

Control fires, send patrols and firefighters at the mountain and farms?. Will the police fine farmers and arsonists?

 

 

In my Village, (North CM) is not funny to see People burning their plastics and garbage every days because the garbage truck passes by once a week and they only find remains scattered on the road by stray dogs… Apart, of course, from the burning of corn and rice fields even inside of National Park.

 

Pollution Control 555

How many 'Seasons' does Thailand have now? Dry, rainy, holiday, burning, dust, cold, hot, summer, spring and winter. According to this story one week is a season.

It’s time to dust off those old puns.

You are dust and you shall return to dust...
Which is why I don't dust - it could be someone I know
