Helen CzerskiOne of the biggest habits that humanity has to kick is that of seeing a human-free space and assuming it’s worthless/empty unless we fill it up with something. It’s happening with plans for the ocean, deforestation for “development”, talk of delivery drones filling the future sky, cube sats that will hide the stars. This “space” is the planetary engine, and it’s incredibly valuable NOW. doing all sorts of things that keep us alive & enrich our lives. We should protect it. #ocean #climate #Earth
Sam L.@helenczerski I was hiking yesterday and struck by the fact that trails were made by people, the park might not have been forested for more than a century, etc. And yet this was what we think of as "appreciating nature": an accessible, constructed environment with the trappings of wilderness.
@helenczerski on the other hand, people had carved their names into trees and not cleaned up after their dogs, so maybe that's as much wilderness as we should be given.
