That's a very complex topic. There's no doubt that the west is contributing to the toxic air quality in Asia. I mean we brought them all the plastic stuff. We just shipped everything there with no education or anything like that. No wonder the quality is worse in those countries. Usually, they lived a very organic life using banana leaves as plates, etc. I think governments are aware but just need more time to actually educate the people to make a difference. I can sense a slow adaptation of healthy behaviors. At least in India, where I lived. I don't know how it works in Malaysia, but I think it's kind of similar.

I hope the quality gets better for you soon! I guess right now is high season for bad air quality over there?

When I compare the air quality in Germany with India just by feeling, the quality here is 100x better. I feel like I can breathe "normally". I can take deep breaths!
