| Video Discription | Today we are going to spend an hour (not) planting about 1000 trees for nature. We will talk about how there are ways to make an impact even when you don't have land. You just need to know where to go find some. This doesn't mean going and planting trees on someone else's land. This doesn't mean digging holes on the front lawn of the public library. But finding niche corners in abandoned industrial buildings, finding abandoned land just outside the school or gas station fences, little abandoned corners at the local ballpark, maybe an unmowed abandoned corner at the public park. There is land everywhere, and nature everywhere. By definition you are surrounded by land. Now, someone out there will go "I'm downtown Times Square New York City, and...", okay stop typing furiously, you "win the argument". There's not land EVERYWHERE. We've completely taken over some places. Maybe do pots on your apartment rooftop. I get it. Now stop. And lets get back to it... Maybe you hop on a bike and travel out to a walking path. Maybe at that place there are two wildlife corridors that have been separated because someone decided we need a gas station there. Maybe right at the edge of the gas station property, behind their fence, there's a strip of abandoned land that could be pushed back towards forest by (not planting) your own little food forest strip of apple trees, native wildflowers, and non spreading bocking 14 comfrey. You don't need to be rich to drive change on this planet. That's a crutch, that's an excuse. Throw those shackles away that bind you from taking action, and if you TRULY want to ACT, and help SAVE OUR PLANET, then we can ALL make a difference. We can all get more trees growing. So save up those seeds from your 2 dollar bag of apples from the store, and in the fall, get them in the ground (provided the dislaimer below). Disclaimer: Do not do any of the things I mention in the video. I certainly don't ever do these things. And I would never suggest anyone do these things. We certainly don't want to feed nature. We would rather nature get hit by our cars trying to find food in human settled land. Right? That's much better. It's much better for wolves to be prowling our streets looking for food because there is no food for them, because there is no food for their prey, because we've clearcut our forests. It's much better that we keep walking towards destruction, cutting down our CO2 sinks. So don't ever plant trees, it's a terrible terrible thing, and you should be arrested and jailed for doing such a heinous act. Now that this terrifying disclaimer has persuaded you to never be such a terrible person to do these things, it is also critically important that you fully understand the VERY REAL devastation you can do to ecosystems by planting invasives (for real). So don't be all "I'm going to plant these blackberry bushes because they are food, and I'm going to put them everywhere, and I'm going to be Johnny Blackberry". Okay, if you don't know what you are doing, if you don't know whether something has the potential to displace nature, then don't take on the responsibility of spreading plant genetics. It's a true and real responsibility you must take on. So spend a few hours finding out what local native food is GOOD for your environment and climate. Find out what fruit and nut trees existed before we clearcut them for lumber and agricultural land and replaced say Oaks and Chestnut with Pines-in-lines. Maybe become Johnny Oak, or Johnny Chestnut. Don't become Johnny Kudzu. __________________ Doing shopping on Amazon?
