Through
day-to-day interactions with the constructed environment, I’ve been seeking to
expand my thoughts on the natural environment. I frequently question the
viability of our constantly shrinking native ecosystems and how that influences
our society.
Human
development and the desire for further expansion has spread across the
landscape in sloppy development patterns. Suburban and city dwellers lack
the natural world in their everyday lives, surrounded by concrete and sprawl; we
try to recreate nature in our own lives.
As
the native flora and fauna die out, the interconnectedness of these diverse
ecosystems will continue suffer. While we surround ourselves with
shopping malls, business centers, and fast food chains, we still yearn for the
natural world.
