BURN BAN

You are in the town limits right?
They made the ban for the whole town. It's easier for them to do it this way and enforce it. Otherwise if they said this area can do it someone in another area of town is going to say well he did it why can't I.

Yes you have a big lot and live on the edge of town.
Not to be snotty but does that makes you any different then the guy who lives on a 100' x 100' lot in town. Then what happens if all the people in town light up burn barrels at the same time.

It would be kind of like if your in a room with a bunch of people and say one person light up a smoke. No big deal you can handle it. Then another and another ,etc. do the same . The air gets pretty thick and not easy to breathe. Then add in the person with respiratory problems.

Paper and cardboard have some nasty chemicals use in their processing
Bleaches, things called white and black liquor (not the stuff that's drinkable) this stuff can peel your skin off. I'm sure not all of it is gone after it's manufactured.

Sorry not to sound like a treehugger as we call the environmentalist around here. Which I'm not.

I may be a little bias because both my parent died from respiratory problems. Some of it their own doing. They smoked for many years.
