Very interesting look at the local culture. Also reminds me to Buy Local!
Yup - as @eco-alex mentioned in his comment, CENTRALIZATION is at the core of the problem. Buying local is a tiny, defiant, contrary energy to that. If we ALL do it, often, things can and will change.
Yes lets all look at the bigger picture before we point our fingers and blame, you bring up such wonderful points here @artemislives, how this leaves are now seen as waste almost when they were such an important part of their life. I love the roof,I love how it is natural and will break down leaving no trace, how wonderful if people did begin to use them more as you have said, so much food for thought thank you for this xx
Waste is a perception only, driven often by culture and need. I'm definitely thinking about using these sustainable materials in my next projects... lots to ponder.
I feel this is a problem with many other places also in different ways. In India the urban people always complain that people from rural areas come and crowd the city areas. In many rural parts there are these handicrafts small scale industries. If we can support them they would not have a need to come and crowd up in the city. When they do not have enough finances generating from their work they explore other areas and somewhere the price has to to be paid.
Exactly! We need to move AWAY form these massive urban centers and stop referencing all parts of our lives there. Living more locally and buying more locally is the beginning of redressing this imbalance.
a MAJOR problem very well highlighted! Most people arnt aware that air polllution causes millions of deaths a year, ..
burning really should be an absolute last resort option, if one at all.. Yes i mean leaves make the best addition to compost, and provide the 'fire' it needs to quickly turn into the best composting soil.. and they degrade in a couple of weeks if you do it properly with layers and turning.. and if you are really smart you can even use that heat from a huge compost pile to heat up water ...
the problem to me is centralisation .. that ruins everything ;=( but thats another post~
I wanna see POSTS about your compost piles and various techniques!
I also FEEL a little challenge brewing around centralization vs local. Let me brew on that for a day or two... :) x

I really appreciate that perspective of looking at the nuances of our problems. This is in line with what I have been learning lately about breaking out of the binaries. It is difficult when we are used to living with binaries, because they are everywhere. But just as pervasive as binaries are there are multiple perspectives and truths. We can't thrive if make each other the enemies! I appreciate you showing both sides, or at least two sides of this story to show that there we are all family.

I think of it simply as facets. Binary, polarized thinking is what got us into this whole planetary, social mess. Truth is relative, and yet for the holder at any given point it can be absolute. To SEE and FEEL the truth from another's perspective is a beginning to connection and community and healing. Thanks for stopping by. :)

I'm thankful for Alex's tie up post, otherwise I'd have missed this completely. You've touched on something that I feel a lot of people miss and it's frustrating that judgements are made without knowledge of the other side. We're so quick to condemn practices, but rarely look at why it's done and offer other solutions.
