Some fixes require back tracking it seems. Some years back I began to become very interested in permaculture systems and design and I try to implement some of it in my own space (which currently seems to mean grass a bit longer than my neighbors might prefer and various gourds and squashes cover as much ground as possible). The general positive impacts is essentially less yard work, but more specifically, less water, less gas, no fertilizers, or pesticides, and definitely a lot of new interesting bugs. I very okay with that, bugs are awesome
Low tech, simple tech, pragmatic tech. Seeing solutions that already exist without needing to complicate things more.
That is awesome. We (I mean as the human species) need to return to basic nature, now I am not advocating to undo all the technological advances we have made but all I am saying is to be aware that nature has always been here first and wll still be here in a billion years in the future when we and all our technologies have been long gone. We only get one shot at this planet, we don't get another and we have made a mess of it already. I love technology and have loved it since 1982, when I was a little girl of 13 years old and I sat before my first Commodore64 so I am that invested but when does technology become a detriment to humanity and society the question begs to be asked.
Taking account of solutions such as the example of permaculture systems you spoke about is a step in the right direction and that type of real solution is what is needed for what ails this world we live in.
