Thailand's air, is in a dire situation.  The air is so bad that each day, you smoke around 6.25 cigarettes, and at this moment you're reading this, you've accidentally inhaled air 10x more toxic than the deathly fumes of a 1000 cigarettes over the course of your life, (this is how much a 5 year old has inhaled). 

Not just the elderly, but the young... must bear the consequences for their entire lives.

    In Thailand, agriculture is the main cause of PM2.5. In burning season, the PM2.5 levels spike up to more than 3x. One main crop that is burned is sugar canes. Sugar canes are burned because other options are less efficient and more costly. Sugar cane has spines that make manual farming hard, and equipment like trucks that reduce the pain of manually farming are very expensive. Impoverished people are being pushed by the fast growing market to quickly produce sugar, or face crushing economical issues, so they just resort to the cheapest and fastest method: Burning. 

    But burning comes with a cost: The air we breathe. You can't stop breathing, it is a thing we do to survive, but when the air we breathe is toxic, we go down with it...

No amount of money is equivalent to a human life.

    So... Don't support the problem by instinctively buying the cheapest sugar, but think to yourself: "That little 1 or 2 baht shouldn't determine if we get to breathe or die",

Buy sugar from bags that have the BONSCURO Label.
