FEATURE: Floods Are Stealing Lives in Germany - Climate change is the thief
I'm going to reach out to them, and I want to just send love and comfort to the communities that are being devastated right now. The photos are just they tell a thousand words. So I'm going to post this here and hopefully get some voices to join us to help bring life to this situation. It's ridiculous. We have to figure out how to build cities differently and save future lives and help people plan for this devastation. So I love your thoughts about this

Hi, Deborah, and everybody else on Swell. I have just arrived in Germany this morning, and I'm actually relatively close in distance. I'd say less than an hour away from some of the devastation, 2 hours away at the most, from these catastrophic events that have never, ever happened in Germany before. So I think that's really important to put in perspective, Deborah, you brought up the human story of this, and I have not yet met anybody directly who has gone through this

Hey, thank you so much for finding a moment to speak with us about this, to be able to maybe be on the ground and send some more news, some photos, add some more voices, sending you deep gratitude. And I hope you're having some sleep because I think it's night time. Your time
