My son is in the boy scouts. A few years ago we met a man who had planted trees on a barren hill for his eagle project. He went back 30 years later and saw that that hill was now completely reforested. He was so inspired that he went around giving demonstrations to young scouts to try and get them interested in ecology.
- bradleyjg 5y agoIs this anecdote really to the contrary of what I said? You’ve told me all about how excited this person is about seeing the result, not anything about whether or not it was the optimal action to take 30 years ago. It’s just human nature. There’s no way to fight it. Best to try to use it instead.
- sul_tasto 5y agoNot at all. I was just giving a concrete example from my own experience to substantiate your point.
