From morning sniffles to building a structure or two by myself from natural surroundings. Not only is nature plentiful but, if resources are used conservatively and saplings are chosen selectively rather than clearing areas, the forest can thrive through our utilitarian needs. A maintained woods is a happy woods where the underbrush doesn't choke out growth and the trees don't need to compete against each other. Some say cutting trees for use as heat or building materials is bad but the trees grow better and stronger when clusters of 4 or 5 in one spot are thinned to only 2 or 3 and the briars aren't there to pull them down. There are two sides to every coin and electric cars with iPhones don't make trees happy or thrive - that's city folk propaganda to get you to spend more money on the next new thing. Anyone born or raised in the boonies knows that nature was meant to serve a purpose other than go unmanaged and turn into a tinderbox and briars. Too much of anything is just as bad as not enough of what things need, if not worse. That's why people that didn't know what a garbage disposal was until they got an apartment on tax dollars shouldn't be in charge of how to manage the entire ecosystem. There is a huge divide between ideology, regardless of how well meaning, and reality of experience through living with, rather than off of, nature...
