Reading about the atrocities committed by ISIS is one of the most disheartening things a person can do. Children being put on the front lines and brainwashed into thinking that their actions are going to earn them a place in the eternal bliss of paradise while the widows and orphans they create are passed around higher ranking members as slaves. The whole thing makes me want to wretch.

A smog outbreak in Southeast Asia last year may have caused over 100,000 premature deaths, according to a new study released Monday that triggered calls for action to tackle the ?killer haze?. Researchers from Harvard and Columbia universities in the US estimated there were more than 90,000 early deaths in Indonesia in areas closest to haze-belching fires, and several thousand more in neighboring Singapore and Malaysia. I feel so sad at the thought of this haze killing thousands of people.

The fires that killed more than 100,000 people just disappoint me honestly. I feel like overall there has to be a better way to go about things this is just depressing and we need to find better ways to help them out. I feel like there needs to be people held accountable for this just leaving it like this is not going to cut it.
