Louisiana's Tiger Island wildfire ruled arson, officials say_我的网站

一 |     The largest wildfire in Louisiana state history has been determined to have been arson-caused, state officials said Saturday. The Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry reported Saturday that it is asking for the public's help in finding a suspect in the Tiger Island Fire. No details were provided on exactly how investigators believe the blaze started. The Tiger Island Fire, which broke in southwestern Louisiana's Beauregard Parish on Aug. 22, has so far burned 48.43 square miles and damaged or destroyed at least 20 homes and structures. It remains only 50% contained.

             

At the fire's height, it forced the evacuation of about 1,200 people from the town of Merryville, located near the Texas border. Mandatory evacuation orders were lifted earlier this week. There have been no reports of injuries or fatalities from the blaze.       Louisiana, which has been contending with extreme summer heat and drought, saw an unprecedented 441 wildfires in August, officials said, stretching the state's resources thin. Most of southwest Louisiana has been classified by the U.S. Drought Monitor as being in "exceptional drought.""This is unprecedented," Mike Strain, the commissioner for Louisiana's Department of Agriculture and Forestry, told reporters last month. "We've never had to fight this many fires simultaneously and at this duration."                  A $2,000 reward has been offered for information leading to an arrest by the Louisiana Forestry Association.

。    本地超级市场自去年7月开始针对一次性购物袋征收费用以来，这类购物袋的使用量大幅减少了七到八成。永续发展与环境部兼交通部高级政务部长许连碹为平价超市的城市广场分店主持开幕仪式时说，其中，平价超市为顾客提供的一次性购物袋锐减了大约77%。去年下半年，平价超市提供的一次性购物袋跟2022年同期相比，少了大约1亿4200万个。许连碹也透露，国家环境局近期对大约1千人进行的调查也发现，超过九成的受访者购买日常用品时，会自备购物袋，比征收费用前的约六成(61%)高出许多。一些受访者表示，他们一般是因为自备的购物袋不够装，或倾向于使用一次性购物袋分装湿答答的产品，才会购买一次性购物袋。而公众每次到超市购物平均所需的一次性购物袋，已从三个减少到一个。调查也发现，超过三分之一的受访者说，收费计划促使他们减少使用一次性和塑料产品。许连碹认为，这显示本地消费者正朝更可持续的心态和行为转变。当局会继续鼓励和教育消费者少用一次性产品，并多用可重复使用的产品。
