The devastating global-warming fires raging in the world at this time, destroying many lives, properties and forests and causing great tragedy for many and effecting us all, necessitates the finding and implementing a lateral and global response.

Remembering that similar fiery destruction has recently happened in the last few years in Australia, California, Athens, Russia, Macedonia, Argentina and many other places.

1. We propose that every national government create specialized sectors, with trained personnel, within every national department of defence, to assist the many existing heroic fire fighters world-wide to strengthen our collective defence capabilities.

2. Budgets need to be urgently allocated to create fleets of the most efficient, water bombing aircraft to be based in strategic locations around the world ready to respond to large scale fire outbreaks. This is a matter of urgent priority!

3. Military Air Forces of every nation could start focussing right now on building, or converting suitable aircraft, to effectively deliver water to quell out-of-control fires. Some of the houses that were water bombed in Victoria Australia a few years ago avoided destruction.

Please help broadcast this solution proposal towards finding a way to have it implemented ASAP.

Harnessing Permaculture for Global Sustainability: From Arms Race to Food and Tree Growing Race

In a world gripped by conflict and climate uncertainty, there lies an opportunity for transformative change. Imagine a future where the race for power and dominance is replaced by a collective pursuit of nourishment and ecological harmony. By embracing permaculture principles and ethics, we have the potential to shift the trajectory of our planet, foster climate action, and ensure permanent food security for all future generations. In this blog post, we will explore how redirecting our resources from the arms race to a global food and tree growing race can bring tangible benefits, from reducing wars and conflicts to directly improving the lives of individuals like you.

Changing the Paradigm: Arms Race to Food and Tree Growing Race

The concept of an arms race has long fueled geopolitical tensions and strained international relations. However, by redirecting our collective focus towards a global food and tree growing race, we can usher in a new era of cooperation and sustainability. Instead of investing trillions of dollars into weaponry and defense, imagine channeling those resources into permaculture practices, where the principles of Earth care, people care, and fair share guide our actions. By adopting regenerative approaches to agriculture and nurturing diverse food and tree ecosystems, we can foster a world that thrives on abundance, compassion, and ecological interdependence while taking significant climate action.
