The dangers of burning plastic
Did you know that burning plastic is highly toxic to humans?
Below you'll find a fact-sheet I found that will give you everything you need to know.
Unfortunately for me, our neighbours seem to be burning their household rubbish in the wood fire...and the smoke blows directly into our house.
Fumes not only affect the outside environment but also inside. You could be slowly poisoning your family.
So make sure when you are sourcing paper to light the fire that it doesn't contain any plastic. Things like the tissue box plastic, remove it first.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
