I'm not a "treehugger" in the sense of those ELF nuts, but as a conservationist who understands mankind needs to be mankind (not some concrete and tar monster), I hope more city planners will expand on the greenspace and respect Mother Nature more - instead of learning over and over and over who rules the Earth.
It's truly sad that in larger cities a zoo or a park is all nature they'll see (other than on TV). The beauty of fishing; the resourcefulness of hunting; and harvesting a bumper crop out of fresh vegies out of your own kitchen and yard waste.
Planning a nice garden this spring, totally organic (and not using manure...e. coli is jumping species now), if for anything to save $40 a week on fresh vegies and put all the grass and leaves to proper use. In the future, we're moving to solar and/or wind power (already completely converted from gas). Be good to get paid by Georgia Power for a change!
Conservation is not only good for the environment; adds to your health; patriotic to be self-reliant; it can even pay!
