There are some things you can not experience by just being there, u have to live there to feel and experience the environment and the different administration culture. Developed countries, or more appropriately, major cities in developed countries have air quality which isn't much better off than what we are having now, and they have to endure it day in day out.. Smog is a daily affair for some of the megacities in the US. So what does that say???Anyway, IMHO the haze situation is mostly man-made and partly nature (drought, El nino and what not). The natural causes are beyond human control but the man made fires are those that need to be addressed by the relevant Government agencies, here and in Indonesia. To be fair, it's not an overnight exercise but by not seeing any positive results for the past few years does raise the question of whether any actions taken in the first place. Or it's the same old "we're do something about it next year".</blockquote>
