Fun facts: the UK has crazy laws protecting trees and hedgerows. There’s a national tree registry for old boys.

      Nah, more like rented their place until they could give back to the earth with the ultimate sacrifice.

          Humans are bizarrely fond of stuffing their dead with preservatives, hermetically sealing them in a box, and/or incinerating them. Like, it’s our last chance to give a little bit back to nature, but nope.

              With all the crap we put in ourselves it’s a good thing we slow down that process, like the casing of a slow action pill

      The ownership of land is an odd thing when you come to think of it. How deep, after all, can it go? If a person owns a piece of land, does he own it all the way down, in ever narrowing dimensions, till it meets all other pieces at the center of the earth? Or does ownership consist only of a thin crust under which the friendly worms have never heard of trespassing?
