Bushfire Crisis

The air is currently filled with smoke from the incineration of ecosystems and all their living components. It feels dire in Eastern Australia. The warnings of climate collapse have gone unanswered for decades by people with power and influence. The feeling of doom and helplessness is strong.

What to do?

1. Activism- tell politicians that they need to take this seriously.

2. Reduce your carbon foot print. Transport, heating and meat production are major contributors to co2 emissions. Change your behaviour: 

• Grow more of your own food
• Use less electricity
• Fly less
• Drive less
• Get Solar
• Eat no or less meat
• Don't buy food that is out of season or gets transported large distances
• Buy less things made out of plastic and other materials that will end up as toxic rubbishy when you are done with it.

3. Support efforts to 'sink' and store carbon:

• Protect forests from logging
• Support the move away from fossil fuels like coal and LPG
• Plant trees
• Critically consider if farming practices that use grasslands to graze animals for meat are really helping
