@tomshw Vorrei che il futuro dei giardini fosse l'erba selvatica, le farfalle erranti, gli uccelli cinguettanti, una martora furtiva e la rana che si nasconde
certo non il rumore di un tosaerba, e del suo accessorio che segue: l'aspirazione di foglie ed erba tagliata

"I argue that the next era in human history should be named the Symbiocene (from the Greek sumbiosis, or companionship). The scientific meaning of the word “symbiosis” implies living together for mutual benefit, and I wish to use this profoundly important concept as the basis for what I hope will be the next period of earth history. As a core aspect of ecological thinking, symbiosis affirms the interconnectedness of life and all living things."
"The new era will be characterized by human intelligence that replicates the symbiotic and mutually reinforcing life-reproducing forms and processes found in living systems."

It has been proposed that humans are now living within a period of the Earth’s history appropriately named “The Anthropocene.” The name is derived from the observed human influence and indeed increasing dominance of climatic, biophysical, and evolutionary processes occurring at a planetary scale. The issue of human dominance is not simply climate change (as bad as that is), it is the whole capitalist development paradigm that is at the dark heart of maldevelopment—that which undermines and destroys the very foundations of all life on earth.
