If you looked down from Mars and saw this activity all across North America - what would you think was going on?
How did we get to the point where the accepted convention is to strip all organics off of our residential turf? And to do so we are willing to hire adults to make jet aircraft volume noise, send plumes of 2 cycle engine oil/gas fumes into the air, and use our hard earned money to pay for hauling leaves to a landfill.
Friday I saw a town using a power broom to sweep pine needles out of the town's park woods to the curb for pick up.
How do they expect to replentish soil nutrients necessary to sustain their lawn, landscaping and trees? How do they expect precipitation to be held and absorbed?
Is sterilization the goal? We are achieving soil sterilization yard by yard. It's a tough job.
Have we lost it? or
Can someone from earth explain this?
