This is so sad to me, but thankfully, not all of us are like this.
My neighborhood has a small park that features a pear tree and a plethora of frost grapes. My wife and I are of a conservationist bent, so we monitor the plants in the park for any bad news and help keep the trails manicured. I can say that pear tree and grapes are both used wisely and with others in mind, as people from the neighborhood show up to take only what they need. One lady does take a lot, but she makes terrific jams then passes them around.
It's quite a positive culture around this park, and it was in place long before we moved there. It also goes against everything I otherwise tend to experience with my fellow Americans, namely greed and gluttony of consumerism.
- throwaway290 2y agoThat's awesome. Do you have tons of fruit trees around in general? If not, do you think your idyllic situation is possibly because your trees are not listed on a map? Do you think a person who really needs to eat right now and the only option is picked fruit can also be the person who has access to a website with fruit tree map and a car to get there?
- 0xEF 2y agoI am not sure why you are asking and the tone of your questioning seems more leading than curious, so I ask you, what is your point?
