It’s my first post of 2020, however it’s definitely not what I was expecting it to be. If you follow me on social media you’ve probably noticed by now that my country is on fire. While bushfires are somewhat normal here, these fires are not. They’ve been called apocalyptic, and have been burning for months across every state, although the worst of it has been concentrated in New South Wales, Queensland, and Victoria (where I live). With the death toll constantly rising and over 480 million mammals, birds and reptiles estimated to have died, things are sadly only predicted to get worse. Plus, even if you aren’t in the affected areas, the skies are currently filled with dangerous smoke.
