    I watched a documentary recently. I don’t remember the name of it but it was a British couple with a large farm. The soil was in terrible shape. They let it go back to nature and got some pushback for ruining the land. I didn’t finish watching but It seems like the idea in Britain for the majority is that nature sucks.

    This was what I was watching

      Country folk used to have a clue about nature because they relied on it to survive. Now they’re just dumb rednecks with carbrain. Lately there’s a ton of country bumpkins in Sweden who wants to kill all the wolves because they occasionally harm or kill their loose pets (if your dog lives in your home, it’s a pet). They claim the wolves “aren’t good for anything in nature”. So we will likely have a massive increase of tick and mosquito borne illness soon due to deer overpopulation.

      I get a lot of comments about needing to cut my lawn. I don’t have a lawn, I have a meadow.

      I have seen more bees this year in the garden of my new house than in the previous decade combined living around monocrop plastic and paved wasteland.

        My neighbors hate my backyard. They love all the fireflies I have in my backyard. They just don’t like the lack of grass and the large amount of plants.
