27. Blog Action Day 2007

On October 15th, bloggers around the web will unite to put a single important issue on everyone’s mind - the environment.

Haze is an atmospheric phenomenon where dust, smoke and other dry particles obscure the clarity of the sky and a source of breathing difficulties.

It arises yearly from "open burning" in Indonesia especially in Sumatra and Kalimantan. The burning of old and unwanted timber to clear the way for reforestation is the cause.

It would be most heartening if ASEAN member states can put a permanent stop to the HAZE condition.

Please see my post and photos of the HAZE here.
