@futurebird We should all give more thought to buildings, especially dwellings that are part of an environment. Too often especially here in Nashville where I live, people perceive a house as a capsule cut off from the rest of the world. That includes all the many colleges and churches, which spray tons of herbicides to give their surroundings a clean-shaven look, which is the opposite of a natural look in our ecosystem here (pic attached, as seen from my bed right now: I live on the 12th floor of a brutalist 70s bldg. that requires daily maintenance now).
Think of a LEED-certified campus bldg., say at Vanderbilt U, and a crew of immigrants leafblowing and spraying herbicides from March to October. That's the reality right here.
