I really love primativism, I've been to outdoor schools and larger gatherings. I am not idealistic enough to freeze my ass off. I would rather design structures that require little to no energy input. While I respect ecosystems, closer to settlements, I don't care if a plant is native if it is useful. I'm not big on the virgin nature nazi stuff.

I also really like technology and am developing an app with my boyfriend, to make parks more interactive. I am going to school for parks recreation and tourism administration. I am going to slowly gain the clout to design edible public spaces.

I went looking for the best permaculturists in Detroit. A huge percentage of the city is a Superfund site. Many places it is discouraged to eat things grown in the ground. The gardening renisance that the newspapers are raving about is mostly in raised beds. One of the most popular designs is a hugelkulture bed. When I asked what they did to add more nitrogen once the manure runs out and the decomposing wood steals pretty much all of it, she told me to dump human pee on it. While not the worst thing in the world, I would rather take my career in other directions.

Detroit will give you respect for police. Once you realize these people can do whatever they want to you in the hour, it takes the cops to get there, you see why they are necessary.
