Tasmania and more

On holidays in Tasmania near Devonport. Visited a community garden in town. Pictures tell the story.

Glenn Albrecht, phiolosopher and passionate environmentalist, has developed a concept of  solastalgia to describe the pain or sickness caused by the inability to derive solace from the present state of one’s home environment. It applies to the population-wide issues of invironmental degradation, but also to the small personal issue of perhaps not being able to garden anymore, or seeing the green spaces in your suburb filled in with buildings or roads.

That's the looking at the problem bit, but we can't sit around having a pity party. What to do?
