Strip malls. Concrete. Parking lots with lots of parking.

Endless lawns from sea to shining sea.

Bird song drowned out by mowers. How wrong.

Fireflies extinguished. Nature diminished.

You know, there used to be a field here. Maybe there could be again someday. . .
undevelop the land
This was inspired by a local prairie area near where I live (pictured at the top). It apparently used to be a parking lot, and sometimes people would just dump garbage there.
Individuals worked with the city to turn it from that into a beautiful, productive prairie. I’m very grateful those people took the time and effort to create it. Returning the land to what it once may have been, and providing food, habitat, and shelter to all the organisms that keep the planet running for us.
What an idea, “undeveloping” land and returning it to nature.
