The phase 1 section wasn't quite so lovely to begin with, but it's a moonscape now. I sincerely hope that at least a few trees can be spared, and with luck, the entire project will run out of steam before long.<br /><br />I'm sorry to hear about your situation. As long as nature is seen as something simply to exploit rather than the foundation of our existence, I don't see much changing.Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09106200660390587077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4735293052019259693.post-68932039678009782632010-11-03T09:10:33.117-04:002010-11-03T09:10:33.117-04:00I feel your pain, I really do.

Now, while I live in the exact same location, it could hardly be called "the country" any more. We are surrounded by private property and housing developments, the quiet fishing lake we live next to has become a muddy mess from all of the jet ski's and ski boats...the fishing is terrible and the lake is polluted. The quiet country road that runs past our place is now like a mini freeway. <br /><br />If that beautiful woodland in your picture is where the houses are going to be that really is too bad. Eventually something has got to give and I agree with you about peak oil...so we shall see.Mr. H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04576034751522467377noreply@blogger.com
