As an addendum: despite this depressing image, Illinois still manages to be a beautiful, thriving, even wild place. This image shows a century of damage to a landscape that is millennia old; there is much we can do to repair it now, and even when we’re gone, it will go on living.
“Reduced to toxic farmland” is a bit of a stretch. It’s nothing like the tallgrass prairie it replaced, but from the ground you can see that life still thrives in and around farmland. More importantly, we can and should restore the prairies and wetlands and even forests/
from the pieces that are left. The damage is significant, but reversible, if we tear down the capitalist structures that encourage factory farming and build a culture of stewardship.
Almost eight billion gaping mouths and shitting assholes on the planet and you want to eliminate factory farming and build a culture of stewardship... good luck with that
It didn't take you long to devolve into insults and ad hominem... you post the devastation of Illinois & I concur & then all of the sudden I'm the bad guy... it never fails... haha
