rooster59 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Firebreaks cleared in Chiang Rai forest By The Nation Chiang Rai residents joined state officials from both Thailand and Myanmar on Friday (January 24) clearing firebreaks in the woods in the hope of curbing wildfires and PM 2.5 dust pollution. Natural Resources and Environment Minister Varawut Silpa-archa was on hand for the initial “rehearsal” in Ban Chalo in Mae Fah Luang district and presented participants with the gear they needed. “Forest fires and smog in the North occur every year during the dry season because farmers clear-burn crop fields to prepare the next planting,” Varawut said. “The government has since 2015 placed a high priority on preventing these problems by cooperating with the relevant authorities on action plans that bring in all sectors to try and solve the problems at their origin.” Source: https://www.nationthailand.com/news/30381031 -- © Copyright The Nation Thailand 2020-01-25 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking Thailand news and visa info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhpas time for few more BMWs with smoke detectors and whiff inspectors Strong deterrents seem to work when carrots fail I'm sure if confiscated, cash, vehicles,ID cards and ultimately land the message would spread. Meantime provide incentives to weed manually or mechanically Of course won't stop smoke from neighbouring nations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
