Easy ways we can help heal Earth in the sub/urban landscape.
About the Book
From Wasteland to Wonder by Basil Camu explains how our management of sub/urban spaces is harming the Earth and demonstrates how working with natural systems can restore healthy environments right where we live.
We pave over forests, use giant machines to scrape away healthy soil, and turn thriving grasslands into dead lawns. Rain is unable to soak into the ground and instead rushes downhill, causing erosion and flooding. We repeatedly soak the land in toxic chemicals that kill life. There is little food for the birds, butterflies, and bees that need it. These efforts are costly, time-intensive, and increase CO2 in the atmosphere.
Fortunately, we have an alternative path: we can work with natural systems instead of working against them. By doing so, we can help heal Earth. We also save time and money because we perform fewer tasks and use fewer products.
Structured as clear, practical guidance, this accessible and uplifting book is written for anyone ready to trade lawn-heavy maintenance for a living habitat: less work, more life, and a healthier planet!
