A badly reconstructed palace and a really big snake in Bago
Heading down from Kyaiktiyo and the Golden Rock to Bago we largely retraced our drive from the day before. In fact we had driven through downtown Bago on our way from Yangon.

It was quite an interesting drive with much of it along a small river and almost the entire drive through dry r
Eliminate and Decrease Styrofoam
An email sent to The Environmental Blog to help promote the elimination of styrofoam:
I am a third year biology major at SFU and am currently taking a Conservation Biology Class. We have been assigned a project to make an impact on the environment by invoking a conservation action. I have created an ongoing online petition as my project which is promoting the decrease or elimination of the use of Styrofoam. The process of making Styrofoam is the 5th largest contributor to hazardous waste and it poses serious threats (respiratory and gastrointestinal tract infections, headache, depression) to the makers of the product. Styrofoam is not biodegradable, and a styrofoam cup lasts for 500 years in a landfill before it is completely broken down. As the product is slowly broken down, it releases a harmful monomer called styrene which combines with nitrous oxides to increase greenhouse gases. The petition will be sent to major electronic companies to increase their awareness on the issue and hopefully get them to reduce their use of Styrofoam. I would appreciate your support in this cause with a link to the petition on your website to raise more awareness. Thanks very much for your time, the petition can be found at Help Eliminate Styrofoam Effects on the Environment.
Thanks very much, lets reduce greenhouse gases!
