Australian Wildfires
How do we sleep when our beds are burning?
Over the last couple of months, Australia has been burning; the world has been watching. For generations now, the ANZAC spirit has endured and has become all the more pertinent in times of strife. We may squabble like siblings, but at the end of the day, we are family. The following are a set of links you can use to help them out. It is clear that the fires have been exacerbated by the effects of climate change and we ALL have to make changes in our lives to ensure the future of our home.
