Kenny’s Cool Ass Exam By The One And Only, The Great, The Masterful, The Awesome, The Freaking Fantastic!!!!, The Kenny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Intro. The belief system of S. Asia is quite complex. They have beliefs going back almost 3500 years and rituals that go back even farther. These rituals and beliefs have been changing the geography of S. Asia both human and physical for long as they have existed.

The Funereal Pyres In the Hindu culture it is expected that you burn your dead on a tower of wood called a pyre This belief has lead to a commercialization of selling wood to burn the dead upon and as such prices go through the roof But the problem is not so much that they are burning a lot of dead people but that they are using up a lot of wood and the fact that they try to dump the ashes in the Ganges R. clogging up the river It would be much easier if people would use the public crematorium and then take a bottle of Ganges water dump in the ashes and pray

Deforestation With the commercialization of funereal wood and the commercial boom of India deforestation has become a big problem what with all these people mass killing trees The solution would be to plant trees in the places you already cut down, this would mean you could come back about 3 years later and cut down the trees you planted

Pollution of the Ganges The Ganges is the holy river in India and it is thought that if you drop a persons ashes in the river they will be taken out of the reincarnation cycle Because of this people drop ashes in the river and when people cant afford to burn the dudes they drop the body in the river in hopes that it would work the same way Plus companies are allowed to drop their toxins in the river for a small fee and this may cause problems because millions of people use the Ganges as drinking water, dish washer, clothes washer, and irrigation water for crops It would be advisable to stop both practices and to force the companies to clean up the Ganges

Critique by Cameron Smith The solutions to all three of the problems are similar. Each plan is good, if the population participates. His solutions lack government enforcement. The first step to all of his solutions would be propaganda supporting these plans. I recommend protection of the replanted forests and a more technologically advanced way of cleaning the Ganges.
