Congratulations, you’ve just described how to turn five acres of once-beautiful land into an overgrown fire hazard. All that “no work, no emissions” talk sounds nice until your property erupts into a carbon footprint the size of a small volcano.

President TRUMP used to say “you gotta sweep the forest floor” get rid of the deadwood, clean up the brush, prevent the tinderbox effect. He was mocked for it, but it turns out he understood something about actual conservation, not just virtue signalling.

You used to produce your own heat by responsible wood use, a renewable, carbon-neutral energy source. Now you rely on lithium-based batteries, solar panels made in China, and a Model S that takes more mining and shipping than your old chainsaw ever did.

No grid, sure, but plenty of rare-earth mining, plastic, and disposal issues down the line. You haven’t ended pollution; you’ve just outsourced it.

So enjoy your smartphone swipes while the underbrush grows. The planet thanks you, right up until lightning strikes your “no-emission” acreage.
