RE: TURKEY IS STILL BURNING - We only have one Earth!
I am hesitant to reply to this post. I am the type of man who would "do" and not the kind who would "feel." If a person is grieving, I might hold them and pat them on the shoulder, but I tend to separate my emotions.
While the fires in Turkey are emotion-charged, I only care that you are safe. Beyond that, is there a charity that you know about that you want to send donations to? If so, I will attempt to draw people to this post to help increase your earnings. I will do so anyway, but perhaps others can be influenced to increase your rewards.
Your sensitivity on this matter made me very happy. There is a need for many things, the need for food and clothing has been largely met. Now, firstly, we need fire extinguishers. Associations and non-governmental organizations have been organized. We support them both financially and voluntarily. The greatest need is to make our voices heard in the world for firefighting planes because the fire still continues in many places.
I want to give you a little additional perspective regarding the responsibilities that your country needs to consider in the future. Instead of collecting carbon taxes to reduce carbon, governments need to enact protocols to deal with changes in the climate. The Earth's protective magnetic shield is weakening (almost by 25%), so we can expect more lightning strikes in the future.
When you consider that Canada has a population of thirty-eight million and Turkey has eighty-four million, the Turkish government has more challenges that it needs to meet.

The fires may end up running their course (if planes are unavailable), but in the future, people may need to advocate for the Turkish government to put more in its budget for environmental hazards.
Yes, you are right. The governments have to increase their environmental budget. This s not a luxury it is a necessity.
I am not sure if I have time to solve all the world's problems. It is possible that there doesn't need to be an increase in budgets. One of the mandates of the Canadian military has to do with disaster relief. Canada has a quarter of the military "staff" of Turkey. In addition to dealing with domestic disasters, Canada has a program that can be accessed by other countries.

Maybe instead of only learning how to drop bombs, some of the pilots need to learn how to drop water balloons.
This idea is super productive. Undoubtedly that, it contributes greatly to disaster recovery if the air force pilots receive education about dropping water bombs. Canada's program looks very helpful to those who need help, btw. Thank you for sharing your opinions 🤗
