recently, i had a friend ask me about swamps! and upon thinking about it... you know, i don't think swamps are so bad! They are important for the world, just like any other kind of nature
this got me thinking... what sorts of nature do you like? i especially love the ocean, but really, any nature is beautiful to me!

I grew up somewhere largely without nature, and what little surfaced was considered fatal. Something we were only barely holding back from mass murder, in fact. So I tend to appreciate more uh...urban environments.

i love beaches and tropical areas, as i love the vibe and i rarely get to see them
and despite my natural hate for the snow, there is no denying that mountain climate and nature is beautiful, and i find it awesome that i can see Pikes Peak from my house and go to Garden of the Gods in a half an hour
and i think deserts are underrated. they are brutally hot, for sure, but they have some of the most gorgeous natural vistas. Utah, Arizona, New Mexico are amazing <3

>>1171213i can forgive the 10f weather, the wind that makes my face hurt, the slipping and getting wet and freezing, the need to wear layers and bundle up in order to survive
but driving in the snow, 6 days a week, in the mountains, kills any forgiveness i had left for it. having to make a judgement call of whether or not you can make it to work, cause you aren't sure your car will stay out of a ditch, or go into a canyon, becomes a regular thing
give me warm, give me tropics, give me beach, and give me the certainty that the road i am driving on will not end up being my frozen tomb

In a previous life I was involved in biofuels research. Our primary focus was encouraging the exploitation of wetland environments. My contribution was what it was because I knew hydrocarbons.
Wetlands are excruciatingly important. From an ecological point of view not only do they have an enormous amount of biodiversity but they support many different types of surrounding biomes and species that we don't typically associate with wetlands, like aquatic birds, amphibians, mammals, and insects.
Besides that wetlands are crucial reservoirs of water stabilizing local aquifers. As far as carbon goes wetlands fix roughly four times as much carbon per acre as the most productive rain forests, producing a corresponding amount of biomass for ecological consumption. Finally for many reasons wetland grasses excel at fixing and removing pollutants from ground water, scrubbing run-off associated with farms, residential lawns, and industrial operations. The high biomass accumulation rate of swamps absorbs excess nutrients, especially nitrogen and phosphorus, stabilizing downstream environments and preventing biome killing algae blooms that plague estuaries while reducing the burden on users of artificial fertilizers. Finally wetlands silts act as natural fertilizers for almost zero cost and they serve to level uneven land each cycle which the land is allowed to revert to wetland.
It was our belief that creating financial incentives for protecting and expanding native wetlands in marginally productive lands for landowners we would not only provide crucial environmental protections and introduce stabilizing forces to the regional ecosystem but provide personal enjoyment for the relevant landowners in the forms of wildlife including game for hunting and fishing, and we'd promote rural culture in a time when it was being erased.
In retrospect we were pretty stupid, all things considered.

>what sorts of nature do you like?Something about algae intrigues me. Especially about how it produces the majority of the world's oxygen. Other than that, no, I'm afraid I don't enjoy nature too much. It's why I prefer to live in the Mojave Desert within Southern Nevada. Looove me some machines and industry.
>>1171226Um,
okay.
But since you mentioned hydrocarbons, I would like to say that I believe biodiesel and nuclear energy would be a decent solution to peak oil in my opinion. And yes, I support genetic engineering of plants.
