Burning Trash in Chester County (among other things)....

Ok so why is it (specifically in our township), that on a beautiful spring evening some local idiot decides 'Gee I think I should burn now" which ultimately spreads smoke throughout our neighborhood thus resulting in all of our windows having to be closed for the night. Never allowing fresh cool air to enter our home while we sleep.  For as long as I've lived here I could never comprehend why burning is allowed.  Not only is it harmful to breath, but rednecks around here burn everything they can get their hands on so there's no telling what we are breathing in!
