Now what?

I was jogging this morning and I was furious and coughing at the same time. Why? I've passed through houses where dry leaves are being burned. Shoot. I understand you have tall tree with lots of leaves but we should also care about the community. Have we not read the ordinance about not burning garbages, leaves and other stuff to save mother earth? I am not perfect and I am not a member of Save the Earth movement but I care about the health of the community. I do my share to help in keeping our place clean.

Perhaps not everyone is aware. But THAT IS NOT AN EXCUSE! Ignorance of law shouldn't be tolerated. Now, what should we do? I can't be talking to each one of them to explain that their action is not acceptable. I can't even approach them to inform them that what they're doing isn't allowed. They don't even know me.

It really made me feel so upset first thing in the morning. But of course I didn't let it ruin my day. I just moved on and wished that the fire would die down once I pass that area again. I also prayed that I may have patience and tolerance for the thick smoke that freaked me out. I was heard. The fire died down when I passed that same area again. I was happy and continued to jog around the place.

Reality check, a lot of people are not aware of certain laws being created and implemented or are they even implemented?

I know two laws that are very important for our environment and for the community : Burning of garbages isn't allowed and no to smoking in public vehicles. But what? Are these laws being IMPLEMENTED? A lot are victims of second hand smoking and these people who smoke just DON'T CARE. They just want to puff and deliberately damage their own lungs and OTHERS' lungs. Have mercy! I care about my health and if you don't then please find a way to protect our lungs AT LEAST. I was happy to learn about these two laws but I hope these politicians would learn to implement them.

I wish POLITICIANS would promote the laws they are making just like what they do when they are campaigning. If they only do this then awareness wouldn't be tough. Let's all be concerned about the community we live in because that's the only way for us to help in preserving the Earth.
