Every year in February, my husband and I holiday in Byron Bay for a few weeks. 

A holiday we have had for the last 30 years and very much enjoy! 

For the first time since coming to Byron Bay, on Sunday 1 February, while going for our walk along Main Beach, we have noticed chemtrails (geo-engineering) in the sky, which to the naive person, look like vapour trails from a plane, but which don’t disappear minutes after, but leave a trail that expands into a misty cloud, or trail, that lasts for hours. 

Since coming to Byron Bay we have noticed them a few times! They are regularly happening in Sydney.

The ‘rationale’ for these chemtrails is to minimise global warming and which are being ejected into the atmosphere worldwide from planes! Sadly most people are unaware of what these chemtrails are composed of: strontium, barium and aluminum nanoparticles.

How can anyone justify the safety of introducing these toxic chemicals into the atmosphere, which if you closely observe will fall as a mist to the ground and pollute the landscape and people?

It’s extraordinary to think that it has been okayed by the Australian government to have done on its own citizens!
