I couldn't agree with you more. Backyard burning is viewed by some as a low-cost, convenient solution for dealing with household waste.. What they failed to realize though is it is also highly polluting. According to research, a pound of waste burned domestically emits up to 10,000 times the pollutants emitted from burning the same pound of waste in an EPA-compliant municipal waste combustor.

Open burning produces smoke, which is made up of fine particles. When inhaled, fine particles can accumulate in the respiratory system causing various respiratory problems including persistent coughs, wheezing and physical discomfort. I hope everybody realize the negative effect of open burning, not only in our health but to the environment as well.

Very effective blog for me. You are saying right that we should not burn the garbage in our homes. It extremely damages the health and also disturbs the atmosphere.

Smokes are really dangerous to our health. I agree that it can really cause respiratory problems. A person who burn plastics or trash in the backyard thinks that after burning it, his or her problem will be solved. But what about the neighbors who can smell the smoke which surrounds the place? Another problem then will be needed to be solved.

I don’t think so burning trash is the right way of dealing with the trash. The most effective way is to separate the different types of trash and try to make use of them. Like use the organic to produce some gas that can be used for cooking or for other purposes and the remaining can be used as organic fertilizer for your garden. The rest of the trash like plastic, paper, metal and glass can also be sold to those who want it to recycle it to make new ones. So burning trash in any where isn’t a good idea.

In alot of areas burning yard clippings is very popular. Composting would be more popular if more of the home centers advertised it.
