Toxic fumes from burning garbage

My family has been woken up at least once a week with this horrible smell in our house. We live in Gharaffa, and I just found out yesterday they burn garbage including plastic not far from here.

This is just so gross, the government can not allow this pollution to continue!

Please help us stop this.

We can smell it at night all the way down near the Torch Tower. Never used to, but now I also wake up in the middle of the night smelling it. We keep the windows closed now. Seems like when the wind is right...

Or just video it and post it to YouTube. Send a link to the gov.

That's the trouble, I don't know. I guess there need to be some publicity about this. If only the COP18 had seen or knew about this. Do you know any reporters? Or anyone in the government sector that can help?
