inspirational work, and very important, to draw down carbon, restore hydrological cycles, retain soil and provide food. Hero is the word.

I'm sure it's really a scam. An evil plan hatched by lefties to destroy the cute furry little "barren river island womble" which was being protected by 'big oil'

Or something.

On a serious note that's some impressive work Smile

^ Worry not, PharLap - Pastor Frank is easily confused. He'll understand what you meant, in time.

No worries PharLap, I sometimes have to have things explained to me. Welcome here.

Phar Lap, just remember you are among some of the most generous and kind people you might ever meet, who are also incredibly cruel (to lads) and who have raw sarcasm flowing through their veins. Try not to assign value to statements that seem to attack, here. It is most often a put on, a pun, a jest.

Welcome to Eater. I do not want to speak for Pastor Frank, but his question was probably in regard to this:

We do our best to keep Eater free of discussions about politics and religion. It keeps relationships here healthier.

Now that's impressive.

On a slight tangent. I noticed, or became aware about two years ago that the dawn chorus has all but disappeared in my leafy part of north London. I can look up into the daylight sky and there is hardly a time between 8:00am and 10:00pm that there isn't a minimum of one plane flying overhead, but hardly any birds. At least not in the numbers they used to be around.
