It is up to the government to stop the logging and burning of wood, which affects our health. The smog from burned wood is worse than the smoke from cigarettes and diesel fumes. It is impossible to take a proper deep breath when the fires burn in Indonesia, as the smoke affects all neighbouring countries. Some worse than others, depend on which way the wind blows. I wish the Governments would take stronger actions. |
