Pillar Valley, NSW
On 9/11/19 my property at Nymboida burnt from a terrible bush fire. I lost my home and shed along with most of my belongings I had collect in my 56 years on the planet at that time. Leading up to that time I experienced very hot weather conditions. Up to 47 degrees on my veranda. I’m now deeply traumatised by that experience.
I have made a commitment not to ever fly again. When covid hit and the world slowed down the most polluted cities in the world’s air cleared up.
We can stop climate change. We need strong caring people in positions of power to lead us there. Not be influenced by money and greed!

We went to sleep feeling anxious about how the heavy rain would affect us, and we were woken by the sound of water seeping into our home. As water started coming in, our furniture began soaking it up and essentially our bottom floor was covered in water.
