On Burma and the environment - from my Facebook page -

A must see - I once saw a well-known Burmese woman, very rich, (actually I saw 2, one in Rangoon) - thoughtlessly throw a bit of tissue into the Balinese farmers' canal - this canal was right beside the B & B, and the farmers were so good at water rights, it flowed in two different directions at different times of the day -

The first thing Burma needs is good garbage collection and control -

There was a movie from the 60s, called Mondo Cane (It's a Dog's World)

look for it - the world is so much more polluted now.

Rachel Carson's Silent Spring first raised awareness, but I did not read it (had no books in Burma) till I got to Penn. In Rangoon we were still using DDT and asbestos, because we did not know.

Even the building where I live in USA did not separate its trash till late 90s.

It will all come back to haunt us.

Kyi May Kaung.

In ref. to a video about an uninhabited  island in the Pacific where all the birds are dying of the plastic etc they have ingested.  Very moving.
