He has lots of great places that he has visited including Uganda, Kenya… Really nice writing and interesting stories about east africa. We had a brief salvo of back and forth comments where we both pretty much ended up agreeing that the thing about the country that is alluring is the wide open plains, the peace and quiet, and how it truly is gods gift to humanity. Why then do we continue to mess with it.
One of the most frustrating things is that we actually believe that we are the be all and end all of nature. If we are gone then so too must nature…which is of course total rubbish. No matter what we do to our planet it will continue to be here. It doesnt matter how many nukes go off or how much carbon dioxide we emit…it will adapt and overcome. Sure it will be a different form and our impact will be noticable. But it will still be there and will regenrate.
It remains interesting to me that we dont utilise things like hemp more. Easy to grow and massively beneficial in its output….almost like its there to be used. Thinking in a more cohesive manner with the environment just makes far more sense. Surely a symbiotic relationship is far more beneficial to all than a parasitic one.
Heres a shot of Plettenberg Bay central beach that will help remind us why we are here…as custodians. How far do we push it? Wonder what our score will be at the end of it all?
