We all contribute to the weighting of the extreme weather die, some more than others.

Have you done all you can to power and heat your house with solar? Have you done all you can to travel and receive supplies by electric vehicle or bicycle or wind power? Have you done all you can to minimise air travel? Do you make the effort to keep a kitchen garden and buy food and products produced and transported with renewable energy and materials? Can you possibly work with renewables, recycle products, and minimise waste?

Did you vote to keep the price on carbon? Do you counter the arguments of those who have been fooled by the propaganda disseminated by greedy fossil-fuel investors? Have you moved your banking to support renewable energy, electric transport, renewable manufacturing, and organic agriculture?
Are you making these positive changes step by step?

Sapoty Brook, Mullumbimby
