Burning Cane Fields

June 13, 2011 — 1 Comment

The island of Maui (where I am for the Reformation Generation programme this summer) has two main economic components: tourism and agriculture.

A large proportion of the agricultural component is the production of sugar from sugar cane. Before the cane is harvested the fields are burnt … No problem unless you live next to a field, drive past a field etc. This is what it looks like when they’re burning. You can imagine what this does to a house that is mostly windows that don’t really close …
