Hi, to all!
A post for our English-speaking readers.
I finished “in general” the English version of the proposal of the "Project of social advertising of sustainable consolidation, promoting the elimination of grass burning practice and explaining the negative consequences of grass burning for the climate, nature, economy and human health “The grass burning is..” ".
The file in the attachment can be found in the bottom of the post.
I think that the redaction of somebody who knows English better than me (and at the same time who understands the importance of termination the practice of grass burning in the world) will be important.
So, let’s do it together. Let me know please who may and what to help me a bit with redaction of this text.
When the proposal became better I’ll publish it in a separate thread on the forum of the forest and wildfire fighting volunteers (so, just here) and put it on the website of the Campaign “Just stop the grass burning!” (
Importantly, in the beginner of the proposal I wrote the division “About the ISEU Public Campaign “Just stop the grass burning!”
I think that if the English version of the proposal will be offered to another countries, we should explain firstly the main objectives and sense of the Public Campaign “Just stop the grass burning!”.
The attitude to the grass burning and prescribe burning practice is very different in Russia and those other countries who use dry vegetation burning practice intensively.
In Russia the most of people already knows that any form of dry vegetation burning gives a lot of negative consequences for the climate, nature, people health and economy. So, we don’t need to explain these things to people, it is obviously or quasi obviously in the Russian society.. And it is it obviously for sure among the most environmentalists, wildfire-fighters volunteers, who personally work against the wildfires problem in Russia.
In Canada, USA, Portugal, Greece, Spain, Australia, Argentina, etc… all countries who use prescribed burning practice very intensively (and who have catastrophic wildfires every year by this reason) – it is not obviously at all, in contrary, in those countries society believes that prescribe burning is useful and safety practice, and the illegal unauthorized grass burning – does not important …
The reason of it that the scientific paradigm of the prescribed burning benefit and safety exists in the world. (A paradigm - is a well-established scientific concept, which is not questioned in society, over which scientists and all other people do not think critically and do not ask question – is it true?.).
I wrote in more details in the text of proposal.
So, this division – is important. It will be applied in this proposal (as explanation of the idea and the reasons of the Campaign and importance of the proposed social advertising ); and, at the same time, I will use it later to make the English presentation of the Campaign on its website… to lunch by this way the international work of the Campaign “Just stop the grass burning!”.
It will be hard way… but we must.
A criticism, ideas and recommendations related with the proposal are welcomed.
