The military even does this while training. Soldiers, like children, will often ignore signs of heat exhaustion or dehydration. So they keep a stringent eye on wet bulb temps, and procedures. At heat cat 5 I think it was 15 minutes of work, and 45 rest of I remember right. He’ll in basic they made us drink a full cantine before lunch, and again before bed at the bare minimum.

Oh shit, that’s way worse! I thought they were using recycled saw dust! WTF?!? How could anyone think that’s a good idea?!?

I mean… It makes sense to use saw dust somehow. It’s there as a byproduct, and it makes sense to use byproducts as much as possible. But I feel like there’s ways we could use saw dust better than burning it. Technically you could call it carbon neutral to burn it thanks to iffy definitions. But you could make it a carbon sink, somehow. It’s way past my bedtime atm, so excuse me if alternatives might sound stupid but here we go.
in compost/soil mixture. It holds water better than a lot of materials, as a mix, you might even be able to grow something in soil that would normally be considered too sandy/dry.
a mixture in plastics, so as not to use as much plastic, and although I’m sure there would be side effects, but it could be perfect for a few specific uses.
swamp/mangrove protection. Ok by now I’m pulling this out of my ass. Like I said, it’s far past my bedtime. But with loose soil, I feel like mixing in some saw dust would act as a binder, and slow erosion.
So I’m not a scientist or anything, but there has to be a better use of saw dust than fucking binding it and burning it. On one level, at least they’re using it… I guess? But even being landfill, at least it would be a carbon sink, even if just a minor one.
