Chinese New Year Series

I was born and raised in a Chinese family. We pray for our ancestors one the first day of Chinese New Year and the Heaven God on the ninth day, 12am sharp. As a child from this family, although I do not agree the Chinese custom in burning 'ghost money' to our ancestors, I chose to respect the culture. I'm in a dilemma between preserving the culture and the pollution that the tradition has brought to our Mother Nature. I hope humans will find a balance between them, someday.
