Plastic bags, climate change, renewable energy,

[The Duckmeister]

Yep. Not sure what rainfall has been like annually, my Dad's property in SA has had an above average soaking this year after losing half of it in the fires in 2019. If rainfall has been higher nationally maybe the fiery apocalypse can be staved off until the Summer of 2022-23.
