Australia on fire
#3
RE: Australia on fire
I just had another "God I love ignoramus's avater!" moment. However, back to this deadly serious and frankly tragic topic:

http://scontent-lht6-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1...e=5EA17CF7

"This is me, sheltering my kids on the beach at Malua Bay on New Year's Eve. (Three year old daughter in my lap and 6 year old son under that stripey towel).

I was angry and scared about our government's inaction on climate change before, but now I am furious and terrified. This disaster was exactly what I needed to snap me out of my funk, feeling like all of my activism and personal eco-choices were not achieving anything and thinking I needed to step back and regroup. This photo is my wake up call. All I could do down on that beach was protect my kids. And that's what climate activism is all about - protecting our kids. So feel free, if you are feeling down and helpless, to draw some rage and determination from this photo. It is going to fuel me through 2020, as we collectively take the wheel and swerve this country away from ecological suicide."
