Australia is on fire. Literally.

I am hoping by now you’ve heard the news. Over the last 3 months, wildfires have destroyed Australia. People have lost homes and experts estimate that over 500 million animals have already died.

Why is this happening?

I want to talk about climate change. The fires and the conditions that cause them, including heat and drought. High temperatures and strong winds.

I am going to make this article quick. If you’ve known me you know that Australia is one of my FAVORITE countries in the world. Including Indonesia, which is currently drowning. – That’s for another convo.

Before we get to the point, I want you guys to understand that even if you’re 100,000 miles away, YOU CAN STILL DO YOUR PART. That’s what it is all about. Any sort of donation helps.

Here’s how you can help from wherever you are in the world.
