“He, who shall not be named”, says sweep the forest floor, in between golf swings.

Smokey the Bear Says “Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires.” – Since Most Fires are Caused by Lightning, does that Mean I AM THOR?
Appeals to personal responsibility cannot fix systemic problems like climate change or poor forest management. That being said, put out your campfires and wait until at least December to commit arson, please!
Most fires are actually human-caused. But you can be Thor anyhow.
