> think a green field is nature
I see these areas basically as factories, albeit we do have the kind of food security our ancestors could only dream of. Would be fantastic to see more forested areas and associated 're-wilding' projects. Could be hugely beneficial in so many ways if only people can take the long view.
- tim333 7y agoGreen fields are of course a kind of nature. It's interesting that the kind of natural environment humans seem to find pleasant - fields with some trees, animals and some water are quite similar to parts of Africa we evolved in eg. the Serengeti here: https://media.gadventures.com/media-server/cache/19/56/19567a3711d9810ad82a42fa2d88e794.jpg https://media.gadventures.com/media-server/cache/19/56/19567... The woods in England where I grew up were more like this https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/media/100142120/flooded-woodland.jpg?cb=409436404&preset=gallery-tab-main-image https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/media/100142120/flooded-woo... - damp crowded, muddy and not that pleasant to hang out in for any length of time. I think our parks are to some extent a way to make things look more like Africa.
