Is it not foolish and unwise to put more of our earth under concrete? To remove the living topsoil of fundamental life and replace with inertia? I experience how kids do not respect the environment, the very biosphere that sustains life. By nudging out more and more species (a lot of biologists agree a mass extinction of plans and animals is underway) and paving over green areas we are telling the next generation that it is fine to treat nature in this way. Its normal. We have dominion over nature. This attitude or world view is certainly a painful mistake doomed only to create destruction.
