The issue is not gardening, it is taking more land from nature. That’s actually the first reason for biodiversity loss way before any kind of pollution we may produce. So the smallest is the ground footprint of your place the less you play a role in that, hence why an apartment in a tall building is best on that matter. Extended suburbs with gardens are the worst on that matter.

I try to contribute to things getting better, with sourced information, OC and polite rational skepticism.
Disagreeing with a point ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.
Let’s discuss to make things better sustainably.
Always happy to question our beliefs.

oce 🐆@jlai.luto Technology@lemmy.world•Musician Who Died in 2021 Resurrected as Clump of Brain Matter, Now Composing New MusicEnglish60·2 days agoThey grew a brain organoid from his donated blood white cells that they turned into stem cells. The brain organoid produces electric impulses because that’s what brain cells do. They made something artsy out of those impulses. So it’s completely unrelated to whatever experience the musician could have had. DNA doesn’t store acquired skills nor life memories. They could do that with anyone’s cells and probably get a similar result.

Damn, I didn’t know Reuters produced this kind of graphical article, it is really cool.
Exactly, this mindset just creates more suburbs, roads, cars, unwalkable districts, etc.

It’s the opposite of what Fairphone does, so the comparison is not possible.

I sympathize with the feeling. I would say, don’t take irreparable decisions in your current emotional state. Disconnect for a few days or a few weeks, spend time on what makes you happy. Then you can decide. If you come back, don’t hesitate to block generously the toxic people, an entertainment forum is not worth arguing with randos at all.
Personally, I was close to quitting due to the toxicity from tankies and other far left populist demagogues. Then, I understood the pattern, blocked the tankie triad, any related user who leaked to other instances when they pop up and now my browsing is way more relaxing.

All the Tokyo parks will have blossom in a prettier setting but they will be overcrowded for the peak of Hanami. Big temples and castles will also have pretty gardens with blossom. If you get there before cherry blossom, you can also see plum and peach blossom which is pretty too, but not as spectacular in volume. I don’t think there’s much natural about cherry blossom, it is a deliberate thing. For more nature, look for the popular mounts and mountains, some are very accessible by public transportation like Mount Takao or the various mounts in Hakone.
We need to rationalize land usage to succeed in the environmental transition. Producing food is definitely a good reason. If one uses its garden as well as a farmer would to produce food, then that would not be a problem. But I think the vast majority of garden owners don’t, so it would be more reasonable to give back this land for farming or leave it to nature.
Yes, 10 billion people are going to have an impact, but the impact on land usage is not the same if they live in suburbs of individual houses with gardens or in five stories apartment buildings withing walkable cities with public transportation.
About the benefits of the gardening activities, cities also offer shared gardening spaces, so people who actually want to garden can do it.
