This is still a big issue round here. They have reopened the roads but the fire still burns and we are supposed to ‘limit our time outdoors’ which is a fairly ridiculous instruction given that we need to water and feed poultry etc… pollution levels are under the danger average but some spikes have greatly exceeded safe limits.

So this is still happening, day 3. Roads are still closed and the smoke seems to have lessened but it’s still burning. This photo doing the internet rounds from day 2 shows the extent of the fire.

So this is still happening. We could see the toxic smoke billowing out from a vantage point on our dog walk today (we are upwind). Raining too which is good for reducing the heat but bad for bringing down particulates.

We’re getting something right in #resourcerecovery
Today I loaded up a carload of unwanted household items, car batteries, #ewaste and old paint tins. In half an hour I had offloaded almost all of it at #Vinnies and the local #recycling centre, relishing the space released at home and the knowledge that most of it will be used again. No fee. No mining. No #landfill 😊
