DONāT SCROLL PAST THIS
for the last 2+ weeks, the Amazon has been catching fire. Yes, itās the season where thatās normal but because of the sayings (aka incentive) of our new president, some farmers are taking advantage of that and intentionally setting the trees on fire. Yesterday, because of this, the sky of SĆ£o Paulo looked like this. AT THREE IN THE AFTERNOON.
Hospitals of the northern states are filling up with people (especially children and seniors) claiming they canāt breathe properly. ALREADY ENDANGERED ANIMALS ARE DYING. THIS IS SERIOUS.
Germany and Norway, huge donators to the Amazon cause will stop sending money because they donāt see results (that can also be credited to our president, who has been tweeting angrily ever since - not because he cares about the environment, btw). That money gives this guy and his team equipment to save little guys like these:
THIS AFFECTS EVERYONE, NOT JUST BRAZILIANS. The Amazon is the largest rainforest in the world, and itās being destroyed. WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.
If your country is holding elections, vote for someone who cares about this. Donāt let another Bolsonaro or another Trump have the power to do something and then do nothing. This is going to shape our future ā if we have one.
PLEASE REBLOG, EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE THIS!!
side note: not to sound bitter or ungrateful but also like whatās up with Europeā¦ yāall exploited South America for centuries but just because you āarenāt seeing resultsā you stop helping altogether?? if you really wanted to help you wouldnāt stop because you think you arenāt helping lol
theres a petition going around. PLEASE sign it. this is HUGE
Please reblog to spread the news. This is important.
The Amazon is a huge carbon sink (meaning it takes up carbon dioxide from the air), and if much of it is gone - by BURNING no less, releasing the carbon dioxide and more - global warming will be even worse.
