I hadn't heard the term until this week but read it in my Drawdown book. Then it came up in two seminars I attended on farming. It is a way to have animals that is not as environmentally damaging and doesn't pit animal ag against environmentalists. It is a way to help the farmer and the environment.

I have watched Kiss the Ground and Plant Pure nation and others.  We eat more because we think it tastes good, we can afford it but don't think of the consequences. I am struggling with that but plan to deliver a presentation at my church tomorrow on the topic of What is on our Plate Matters - to our health and the health of the planet. I am using Drawdown info also with others who are vegetarian for comments. We will mention food waste too. Meat leads to a high environmental impact and isn't necessary for our health except for B12. We need protein but not the amount we typically have. During COVID meat processing plants were a source of severe outbreaks and we didn't treat those employees fairly.

I will be less likely to throw away food. After having food poisoning I maybe have been overly careful.

I was walking in the woods in British Columbia. The high ferns, moss, rivulets and nature all around created a spiritual spot. I sat and reflected , memorized the area and took a short video. Now I visit regularly in my memories. I felt a similar feeling in the jungles of Belize but was with a group so couldn't wait. The native people later told me they too found that area uniquely special. Both areas made me feel connected to all life.
