Probably the person who tossed cigarette didn't even notice what he had done. Some are just careless in their daily life, but such carelessness would cause a big loss to the society.

  • You Can't Believe What I Saw This Morning -sunnyjclim(Sunny); 2015-7-5 {1728} (#1420@4096) +3

    This morning when I woke up in Victoria, BC, I saw the strangest kind of sky that I had never seen before.  The sky was orange red!  IT WAS FREAKING ORANGE RED. 

    As I just googled “what’s wrong with the Victoria sky this morning?” (This shows how much I depend on google), I got to know that haze was all about those BC wild forest fires.

    I heard about the forest fire on and off through the news, but didn’t realize that it would actually affect me by changing the color of the sky.  According to the news on Saturday, there were 66 active fires larger than 10 hectares across BC, and the fire near Kelowna, BC, got as close as 200 m away from some homes.  Unfortunately for the people in that area, the fire affect them by forcing them to evacuate from their properties, approximately one hundred and forty-one properties in all.  Ironically, this fire was likely to be caused by a single person that tossed a cigarette.

    I think this summer is the hottest summer ever since I got to Victoria.  Although I know it’s just because of the normal climate cycles, it still makes me wondering about global warming.  The reason for the future human extinction might just be a guy toss a cigarette on a hot post-global warming day on a highway.

    • I wonder how bad is the air quality there, can people still stay outside? If this was indeed caused by one single person, he/or she probably didn’t do this on purpose, but someone needs to figure out how could this possible? -littlesweetbean(Café); 2015-7-10 (#1433@4096) +2
      • It was really bad, sometimes I was able to even smell it. Yet we still stayed outside, we had to. :) -sailor(Ocean & Mountain); 2015-7-10 {277} (#1434@4096)

        Talking about how it happened, the sad fact is that there are so many people who litter casually.  From time to time, I saw people throwing out cigarrette butts when their cars were in front of me.  They simply didn't care about others, or the environment.

        • Thanks for the update, I guess stay inside if you don't have to get out. :) If a tiny cigarette butt can cause a huge disaster like this, something is missing here... -littlesweetbean(Café); 2015-7-10 (#1436@4096)
