Open Burning Leaves

This evening, while I mopped th floor,i smelt a choking smell of smoke. Oh god, they open burning again. I so hate that my neighbour alway burns the swept leaves. The wind always blew the smoke to my house, making me feeling suffocate. Sometimes i really wanna call the police to catch my neighbour. I am serious. I even think of buying a big fan and blow the smoke to his house.

When I stayed in hostel, the nearby residents always conduct open burning. The smoke will be blown to hostel everytime, polluting the air in hostel area. Sometimes, the smoke can be as serious as the case of haze in last few years - thick haze surrounded the area that you cannot even see clearly. Sometimes I feel like searching the people that conduct open burning and talking to them or calling the police. But I guess no action wllbe taken as open burning is not a serious issue. Maybe you guys may think that I should not be so serious on it. But when the weather is hot, the open burning will make the weather worse. Just imagine if open burning is conducted almost everyday and the smoke is everywhere, I don't think you will have good mood anymore.

Nowadays, the weather is changing tremendously. Many countries are having trouble with the weathers. Australia is having serious fire, London and Toronto are having snow storm, etc. Can't you guys see the world becomes seriously sick? What we can do are practise green concept - use rice case instead of polyform, use plastic bags to pack the leaves we collect instead of burning them, rubbish type allocation for recylce, etc. Although you guys may think that it is insufficient in power that we are alone in practising. But believe me, as long as we do our parts, I do believe i is enough already. Ask and look into yourself.
