Since the discovery of fire some 790,000 years ago, mankind had discover many uses of it - From protecting themself to killing each others.
In ancient time, fire ensureed the survival of entire tribe or group. It provide protection from wild animals, provided warmth and light, and enabled the cooking of good.
Millennia later, we learned how to destroy and shape with fire. Mankind made land usable through slash and burn agriculture. Ashes remained and new leife created.
New technology is invented everyday, but fire is still the most economical method to make land usable for agriculture till today.
Each year in Singapore, we will have a "haze" period or season. A time where the air PSI went up so high that schools have to be closed and public activities have to be cancelled because the air is not at unhealthly level for the general public.
Where are this "Haze" come from?
Many thanks to the farmer in our good neighbour country, Indonesia. Each year, they will set fire to their farm or forest to make the land reusable.
Our government has been working with the Indonesia government for years. Based on the number of air cleaner sold each year, we think it had been successfull.
