in NSW. The Dodo put out an all-call for help back then. They didn't want money, they wanted mittens and pouches. I mailed two 50 pound boxes to the city, stuffed with pink and blue koala mittens in two sizes: tiny and teeny tiny. I also made joey pouches for the roos in really fuzzy fabric. The thank you note made me cry.

Right now there are all kinds of sites doing the same thing. It is so easy to do. And it helps so much. Please GOOGLE some of these folks and see what you can do to help.

And when it comes time to vote, boot every single climate denier out of office. The ONLY people on Earth who thing this is a hoax is the republican party in this country.

So, so heartbreaking.

Climate change deniers have got to GO! Politicians who persist in this mode should be bundled up and shipped to fight wildfires, and clean up after hurricanes--and I don't mean throwing paper towels. I hope President Biden will establish a Department of Climate Change, as Governor Inslee suggested. He would be excellent to head it up.
