On the contrary it takes quite a bit of effort to keep the nature at bay. Neglect a corner of your house and next thing you notices small ecosystem developing full with small grass, mold, insects and what not. When Indian cities were locked down for a few months all sorts of birds and animals started appearing in the neighborhood.

- Cthulhu_ 4y agoMold in your house is a health risk, so yeah nah, any life in the house is best left as intentional, potted plants and the like.
- woeh 4y agoWhere I live, the city encourages citizens to make tiny gardens against the facades off their building. If you request them, the municipality will pop out some tiles from the sidewalk and supply the soil. The idea is that citizens themselves are then responsible for the gardening, and as you say "keeping nature at bay". The city has become prettier because of it.

- willismichael 4y agoIt's time for pedestrians to take back the streets.
- hutzlibu 4y agoYou are right, which is why the challenge is to have a symbiosis. Most people don't like mold, ants or snakes in their home. Me neither, and I love sleeping outside.
