Another day... Hot and humid and hazy... It look like the atmosphere is full of those polluted particles that modern day people call the haze... It look hazy and with low visibility... Many explanations have being given by the authority as to why we have haze how.... One of the reasons that they say is because of open burning in the island of Sumatra.... I simply do not understand.... for open burning for agriculture purposes have being going on for decades... It has been a culture of those farmers since the time of our forefather, that they burn the land to clear forest or under growth for farming.... Moreover it is good to the land itself... Those burned woods and soil add to making the soil more fertile and suitable for planting short terms crop and getting good harvest without the uses of chemical fertilizer.... It has been like that all the time that we could remember but there was no haze then.... We would have clear blue sky all the time and if it look hazy.... It is usually in the early morning and in the evening and it is not haze but mist... That give the atmosphere the coolness in the tropic... I remember when I was growing in the forties and the fifties....The morning were usually with mist and it is cool and nice... It really nice to wake up in the morning to the misty atmosphere....With the shrub and grass covered with dew.... Clean dew on the grass and those plants smell good and fresh... but now there are no more those mist... Where are they gone... No more clean dew on the lawn... What has happen to our world..... I love those green and the soothing smell that came with it... No matter how long you look at those green of all shade of color, you would not felt any uneasiness but it is different with other color especially red, it would surely makes you tense and uncomfortable as well as uneasy.... For green has been our comfort since times....Our home from the primitive one to the most modern in today's world are always with greens, either those that are natural or that are artificially made.... It reflect our closeness toward nature and hence our vary own survival depend of the those greens that supply us all those oxygen the we need to survived on this blue planet.... It is the green plants that convert all those carbon dioxide that we human and other living creature give to mother earth into oxygen....And gave us back in order for us to continue living on this planet.... I love green...A color the I grew up with, the trees, the grass, the leaves, the shrubs.... And in the tropic, the shade of greens are many....so even though it is green,there are varieties in the Green.....So it is never the same, green is nature, that is part of us human...Our original living habitat.... So beautiful those green... Lets keep it at that and enjoy life.....For now, for tomorrow and for the future....
