"You can solve all the world's problems in a garden." Mind blown. I don't know if that statement is deeper than what he intended to communicate, or if he knows full well the extent which it could be taken. My guess is the latter.

hmm, i'm not surprised at all about the results, trees are earths way or sustaining itself and making it able to be inhabitable. I'm wonder what salt that was, it is was mineral salts, then yeah, the plants/micro organisms would have just used the mineral salts in a manner similar to elemental fertilizers(synthetic)

@ecocreditfan I completely agree with your statement, however national sovereignty and the capitalist model as we know it ('every man for himself') would never result in such a world. I was implying the people living in the 'extended' north american culture when I said "most people", if that wasn't clear.

@VenusProjectFTW Sadly hungry people have no internet access and no money. If we had global basic income and free telecommunication the planet would be transformed into a beautiful garden within months.

@unclejohnthezef Fungi and other plants transports water throughout the system. Plants are colony-living organisms. They may not be able to move but they still cooperate and communicate with each other in a gigantic network of chemical signal substances and symbiosis.

This is one of the most important videos on youtube. It holds the keys for stabilization of the environment, and how we can feed ourselves while healing the earth!
