on a serious note we need to be careful in shaping the world, and a license to mine has to be bound to a plan and a budget for recultivation, for restoration of a habitable and nice landscape.
- btilly 4y agoMy favorite restored mine is https://www.butchartgardens.com/ https://www.butchartgardens.com/. I sometimes wonder how many tourists visiting it realize that it started as a strip mine.

Into it we brought a huge diversity of plants that we use every day but often don’t get to see, planted in soil made from ‘waste’ materials, watered by the rain, in giant conservatories and buildings that drew inspiration from nature. Behind this vision a dedicated team was brought together – made up of people who wanted to change something, who wanted to be able to say, ‘I’m glad I did,’ rather than, ‘I wish I had.’” Quite an expensive project, but interesting to learn from.
