		<description>Good initiative! I like the communication and awareness campaign.

If the practice of burning is so ingrained in the culture (and if it is needed), maybe, instead of just saying no (banning) we need to find some other means to help the population transition to effectively do something else that would be as good or better than burning. Can we have a win-win outcome whereby a substitute or another ways to deal with the &quot;need&quot; or the &quot;tradition&quot; to burn changed to something else?  I guess c) does cover that a little bit. Can we have more emphasis on the consequences of this on health of people. Maybe students can make posters, videos, make plays, write songs... to present  to adults, as in a an ad campaign against fire! Then, students can rate the ones they feel are the most effective. Give a prize for the best X works (min. one for all the provinces affected?) Have signs on agricultural products about this issue (like cigarette packages)..

		<description>I &#039;ve got mixed feelings about these guys. On the one hand I do really enjoy seeing photos of them fighting whaling, deforestation and coal power stations. On the other hand, they are annoying when they ear bash you at shopping centres, and they apparently couldn&#039;t give a shit about little guys from other aid agencies trying to make a difference. I emailed them in BKK for advice on starting a campaign against the air pollution here in Chiang Mai. Did I get a reply? Zero.</description>

		<description>Certainly air pollution is the most pressing problem here and like the others raised stems from the deeply corrupt system of governance and the failure of the people to press for adherence of the participatory provisions of the constitution - see also  http://ourchiangmai.com/2011/02/22/%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%98%E0%B8%B4%E0%B9%83%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%82%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%B9%E0%B8%A5%E0%B8%82%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A3%E0%B9%81%E0%B8%A5/</description>
