an urban dweller really has a feel for how the Earth is doing. Let's face it when you live in urban areas, its a lot like looking out over a land fill project - way too much pollution everywhere. Very true. Same applies for Brazil I was telling a friend the other day. The average Brazilian lives in an apartment building. Despite that huge area, 68% of the population lives in a 100Km wide strip along the coast. As result they judge everything under the perspective of an urbanite. The urbanization ended in 1980. The vast hinterland (agricultural and mining) area dos not need too much hands and legs.

Well Bob we are not disagreeing :)).. I spend a lot of time in the Laurentians at our chalet.. I am considering buying some more land up there and focusing on asparagus, garlic and hazelnuts.. When I am returning to Toronto via the northern route I pass by an asparagus farm :)) I will move a few of my young hazelnut trees to the chalet this summer to see how they manage over next winter (They are inoculated with truffles :)) I am trying to focus on pest free plants :) as I am getting on :)) Outside of the city life is nice.. I feel governments are trying to herd folks into the cities.. Vertical coffins called condo apartments.. Smaller and smaller freehold properties.. (infill housing) too much crowding is not good for humans... but the trend is away from nature.. We have a little lake with no motor boats except a small electric trolling motor allowed.. No one on the lake has one :)) Mostly kayaks, and canoes.. We have an artesian well and a backup stream with potable water .. .. There is a lot of misinformation being told people who never really experience the outdoors, beyond Central Park. Ask AOC - we'll be just fine in 12 years., and NO AL GORE, Miami is not under seawater. <smile> Yep.. agree... BTW Yellowstone is AWESOME.. Coming back home lover Beartooth pass.. with a trailer.. camped under a glacier 100 yds away :)) Yep So much to experience.. so little time..
