Good work Aph

 

[Bluella]

Thanks, Aph.

I think there are a few animal/wildlife organisations also taking donations. Wildlife Victoria for example, though I am sure there are others.

Another reason to love Ash Barty - she's donating her prizemoney from the Brisbane International - I think if she loses first round it's about $30-odd thousand!

I heard if she wins the tournament it's worth 360k.Not a bad gift if she can pull it off.

I think my figures for the first round are wrong but great effort whatever it is!

Exactly.. Barty is all class. I love her.

Great initiative and I applaud it. But the most important thing is what we do after the crisis has past.

 

[thylacine60]

This country can never be the same - and I don't just mean what has been lost.

Yep, and donate directly to your local CFA if you want your money to go directly where needed

Feel awful for the people who have lost their homes, but feel just about as bad for the native wildlife who have either perished or been completely displaced.

Heartbreaking watching some of the clips of rescued Koala’s looking completely disoriented and rattled, and I cannot imagine the sheer terror of a bushfire approaching.

I’m oscillating between anger and sadness...I’m angry at the moment

we’ve donated and will again but it seems futile....now I’m sad / upset

Couldn't work out what the traffic jam was on Somerville Road yesterday. Just realised the cars were all queuing at FoodBank.

What did you drop off?

 

[Blue and Silver]

I am trapped at home. Too smoky for poor asthmatic me.

I got to thinking. What does the club have by way of a green energy policy? Do they have solar panels at visy or something.

Can we, as a supporter base lean on the club to get some movement on this.

I know people think this is politics, but it isn't, this is climate change, it is happening and it is terrifying. I want to try and do something.

 

[ESKIE]

We all must do something.. anything

 

[BlueGum]

and everything we can.
