Yes, the
illegal burning on October 3 caused me serious respiratory
problems here in the Ojo de Agua area. The air reeked of burning plastic and old
car tires. It was the worst I have experienced in my two years here.
Neighbors also complained to me. If this illegal burning is not stopped, real
estate values will not much improve in SMA and tourism will be depressed.
The brick makers almost always burn the trash at night to stop us from
taking photos, which is an indication they know that what they are doing is
wrong, legally and morally. Even people who live around the brick ovens in
that part of town are complaining, I have been told.
We can only hope that the new city president and administration will act
immediately to stop the illegal burning and get the Parque Industrial
finished so this people can make their bricks using new, efficient ovens and
acceptable fuels.
It is past time to stop this environmental atrocity.
