I'm very aware of the permanence of stuff in the world.
Though we are just passing by, I know that a lot of things we do can have a permanent effect on the world and all the other species thatt live in it.
This year I bought my grandpa's farm, and boy he loved to dump trash... He had a store, so he seems to have dumped whatever remained from it at the farm. I'm now dealing with getting this farm clean and getting everything out; I feel it as my purpose. I have been very pro environment all my life, I've been in many reforestation efforts, even at my house, I pickup the trash etc, though I know there are some things I can improve, but there are many other that would make my life so hard, like not driving so much. This country in unwalkable.
So now I'm so aware of the effect out possessions have in the world. I can get this trash out of the farm, but it still will go somewhere else, some other piece of land will have this trash on it. Now I have a goal of not buying new stuff whenever I can, and to stop buying nonsense. I've seen progress, but there's work to do.
Another issue is that I wanted to live in this farm eventually, but, being in a hurricane/seismic prone area, I know that a concrete house would be a wise decision... But I don't want my house to last for millenia, when I only want it for whatever lifetime I have. And with the amoung of concrete there is in this farm because of the road and stufff... So I'm thinking on wood construction, as I know it can be done well. But you know what would be better? Not constructing anymore!!!
There are so many abandoned houses around here, that constructing a house makes zero sense. The world does not need it. And yeah, while I fight this urge, there goes another bomb on Lebanon, but that I cannot control, I cannot see, and I cannot avoid, so I'll work on my part as best as I can.
Eventually I'll put this farm into a conservation fund or something too.
I know I will figure this out, but it takes a while. I hope I can pick up all this trash, restore the area, and that whatever I do here, that I do for the improvement of this piece of land, that whatever beings live in here, can live peacefully.
