Try to save Amazon forests with magic

People are full of self doubts and internal limits on what they can do because, ultimately, they like being human. They use human tools and human measurements and human logics, not understanding themselves, their tools, or what they work with. Donā€™t listen to them! :slight_smile:

That attitude, of ā€˜thereā€™s no way just i can do thisā€™, is how worlds are broken. The people burning it donā€™t care about being human; why should you? ā€˜Evolve or dieā€™ is breathing down our necks, in case you havenā€™t noticed. :slight_smile:

ETA: nobody is motivated to handle things not immediately influencing them. If you challenged the navel-gazers to put out the fire, youā€™d either mobilize them or get flagged by those who are too lazy for their own good. :slight_smile:

Welcome @ametista. Please make an introduction in the NEW MAGICIAN AND INTRODUCTIONS area, and tell us about yourself and any experience you may have in magick. It is a rule of this forum and required.

Ah yes, worldā€™s burning, but introductions matter! Welcome to BALG @ametista , watch out for the bots and other drones feeding the circuits. They even post! :slight_smile:

Why not focusing the magic on the people who are deliberately burning the forest for cattle/meat production?

ā€˜Saveā€™ in terms of see it grow back to normal in our lifetimes, no, @anon59886753 , but thereā€™s a difference between saving even a twig and turning the land itself into a pit. Itā€™s dead to us, maybe, but it doesnā€™t have to stay dead. :slight_smile:

@anon48532061 my point exactly! People sharing the rain spell are just too afraid to really bare their fangs, however scrumpy and dull they are. The people burning it have no problems abandoning humanity (theirs and others) for the sake of profit. Itā€™s not like they donā€™t know theyā€™re killing the world, they just donā€™t care! :slight_smile:

You have to fight fire with Fire. If youā€™re going to fight monsters pretending to be people, you just have to be a bigger monster. :slight_smile:

Sure! Iā€™ll help! I actually like forests and in my projections, I tend to go to foresty places.

I like the way you think. And speeding up the regrowth of the plants and trees a little? Maybe toss in some new surprises that might fight back? New plant thatā€™s a carnivore just a little donā€™t touch this area again?

Iā€™ve forwarded this idea to my school (which is a little bigger and more organised than BALG). Some co-ordinated working is at hand.

How about evoking Gaia?

Donā€™t forget those pesky soy farmers as well

With all this deforestation, it is not inconceivable that previously unknown bacteria and viruses will be unleashed nor is it inconceivable that this in turn might lead to a global pandemic.

1/5th is gone already, and if another fifth burns, a dieout effect will trigger. There is no time!

They are not planning on planting soy there (not confirmed).

Although a problem too, the soy plantation is a minor evil and not confirmed as the main reason for the Amazon deforestation, whereas it has been confirmed that the deforestation is for cattle purposes.

I donā€™t get your shitty butthurt comment.
Stadistics and data are there, if it makes you guilty for eating meat it is not my problem.

Donā€™t just try to justify a big evil with a small one, and donā€™t derail the thread.

Or better, letā€™s use magic for all evils, instead of getting all butt hurt.:slightly_smiling_face:

Agree 100%.

Besides we are vast and wide and have many different practices worldwide. Thereā€™s many ways we can accomplish what we set ourselves out to do.

Connect with the spirit of the amazon itself and follow itā€™s instructions if you want to help.

Okay this is getting too heated and it all borders on political the moment people start naming potential causes, be they right or wrong, so I am closing this topic and request people liaise via PM, with anyone who you feel is sympatico.

Cheers. :+1:
