how air pollution comes about: forest fires

propagating across Asia like wildfire

Nature dies because of Man's selfish needs;even children feel Mother Nature's pain

yes,it even caused the waters to dry up and kill other creatures

We can't even breathe properly because of air pollutants everywhere

"Please dont destroy Mother Nature and harm everybody else!Please dont be selfish!"
From these pictures,I have already unknowingly written six thousand words(since a picture speaks a thousand words).However, I ultimately hope that these pictures will raise the awareness of how forest fires in Indonesia not only affects Singapore alone,but the country itself and other parts of Asia.
As men become modern and industralize,we tend to take the easy way out by just clearing the land with the lick of the flames to build high-risers and other buildings.
Instead,we are just harming ourselves by letting such air pollutants being released from the haze entering our bodies and wreaking havoc in us. Problems such as difficulty breathing, eye irritation, coughs and even life-threatening symptoms may appear if we do not cut down on the forest fires.
Of course,as a Singaporean,there is not much I can say to help reduce the number of forest fires,but we can always help out to keep the air quality in Singapore stable and good by taking public transport,not smoking,carpool.It may not seem much to one person,but with the whole nation making efforts,there will be significant differences on the environment.
In addition, this can also reduce carbon emissions and prevent global warming from coming true.
okay thats all,thank you for your time!
