Roads Surround Us

Roads surround us in the US. . ..and we cannot escape the hard, impermeable surfaces that cause flooding and drought.

Green Our Cities to Renew Our Selves

Human cities have built thick and dense walls and barriers to keep the self in and the other out out of fear.

But nature of forests, wetlands, prairies, rivers, skies produce the critical flows such as breathable oxygen, drinkable water, topsoil for growing food and shelter to keep human cities alive day to day and minute to minute.

Humans in cities need nature to produce enough flows to consume.

But some just don't get it.

Ironically, human cash systems count the most critical flow the least and the least critical flows the most.

Human cities consume what nature produces without pay.

But humans can bring nature's producers into the cities to work for humans, to produce what humans need.
