Air and Fire

I envision a future in BC where our summers are not spent under smoke from our burning forests. Where air quality advisories are rare and not expected every August/September. Everybody should be able to enjoy our beautiful outdoors without risking exposure to harmful air pollutants which can cause serious long-term problems with frequent exposure. To address these concerns, public awareness of the benefits of controlled burns needs to be increased. Misconceptions about the dangers should be discussed especially in more remote communities who might feel more at risk. I think educational commercials could be any easy way for the government to spread awareness about the benefits of controlled burns to reduce fear and opposition fro
