At the intersection of growth and population (1)

This is something to think about.  Many businesse have grown dramatically.  This is because world poulations have grown so much too.  Since 1950 global population has surged 300%.

Our planet itself has a pre-existing geographical boundaries.  So Population has grown and resources have been improperly or poorly managed for the most part.  People cut down forest to replace with farmlands.  so money was made selling timber.  The floors of forest are not supportive of farms.  Today a better managemant idea would be to thin forest.  Hang baskets from trees using a nailless suspension system and plant crops in them. 

The other thing is that each person needs fulfilling work to do.  They need access to fresh water and a place to live.  Each person needs plentiful food sources too. Everyone also generates waste too.  so I think recycling and reusable grocery bags are the new norm.

 If you cut down all of the trees you lose your squirrel, rabbits, and deer.  You also lose the benefits of carbon absorption.  Reducing the heat island effect.  You lose your water table level management, nitrogen retention riparian sector, did I forget to mention oxygen production.

Clear cutting forest are like removing a lung.  These trees are that important.  Between the tree trunks, limbs, and leaves you have a most efficient use of vertical and horizontal space.  In englis a fully leafed tree has a lot more surface area to use photsynthesis than a pepper bush.
The Wall Stree Journal rumored that wildlife is resuging.  Just that now they are our neighbors too.
That being the case since we destroyed their homes to build our homes then we might consider providing some forage for "Our Neighbors"  consumption.  Start acompost pile for food scraps and paper plates and cups and such.  This is so that  raccoons and bears do not have to tip over our trash cans for a morsel of food.

Somsewhere between the growth of human population and the decimation of forest and other life forms, we really need to find a balance where man and nature can thrive.  This is the bigger picture for Concept e-3..."Nature Restored".
