If residents of places like Cross Creek Ranch “don’t want to feel like they are raping Mother Earth,” they wouldn’t live in autocentric, sprawling, master-planned communities. While natural vegetation is a major improvement over typical turf, restoring more natural conditions and NOT building all the houses would be much better for the environment. Definitely smells of greenwashing.
It’s all greenwashing. Childlessness is the only true greenness. Of course humans don’t live for the sake of nature so it’s really a moor point.
Does the truth hurt?
