Today is the fourth day the city is under a smoke thick blanket occasioned by farmers that have set fire to their lands 50 km North.
It is really a paradox a city called Buenos Aires (”good airs”) with all this air polution. It is very difficult to breathe on the streets and there are people using masks. Even if you stay closed in your home, the smoke somehow enters and contamines the air. I and my husband don’t smoke cigarettes, but our blankets are smelling as if we smoked several packages a day.
Visiting some online local newspapers I found one comment about this situation that I appreciated. Someone said that now all the people who smoke can feel what we, who don’t smoke, feel when they lit theirs cigarettes.
I really hope that this situation cease soon, but it seems that it will continue for the next days. It is a shame when all the living being have to breathe such air, when we don’t have fault of this criminal act.
These two pictures illustrate a little the situation. They were taken today two hours ago.
