It is winter season, people are starting to cause wild fires and this happens every year. The grass is no longer green which makes wild fires to be dangerous. Last few weeks there was fire on a mountain and today while driving pass Jane furse on the main road next to a where people plant mealies there was a smoke. Someone burned the grass. Yes people have collected the mealies but wild fires cause pollution and dangerous especially next to where vehicles  pass. We all know that petrol burns faster. We have to think about the birds, animals, insects and all things that loses their lives and place to stay. Some of this thing are used as medication by traditional healers and have their own way of making the environment clean. If you burn all locusts and worms, what will the birds eat? What  about those who farm? Nowadays sorghum has to be covered because of birds and we are making things worse. Every living creature has a purpose, there is a reason why the Creator made them.
