    Meanwhile the world is covered in wildfires, and these people think it’s smart to add extra pm2.5 particles in the air. Just cause the smoke has been blowing north doesn’t mean it’s over.

    Y’all are literally our neighbours. We’ve banned open fires in or near all forests for months.

    Inb4: “but it’s near water”

    Tldr : Americans in Maine having a giant ass bonfire despite the wildfires raging in Québec and eastern US, despite the smog we’ve had for weeks.

      I would agree with you, but maine has had basically non-stop rain for the past two-three months. Hell in order to start the bonfire in the first place it required 10 people blowtorching it for like 10 mins, and in addition to everything being wet, its on a small sandbar like island.
