- | We will hook-up with the local TT people but the Nomad-principle is applicable everywhere and should appeal to a mindset that is open to less literal more psychogeographically informed vision of what a city can look after the great ecological, population and resource crash. | + | |

- | TT Nomad cultivates metaphors not gardens, we add pressure to self-willed ecosystems no matter how small. [[forest gardening]] is perhaps a misleading term; gardening is a buzz word, a artistic fashion that underestimates the skill and long term commitment to the land. An important part of gardening is about productivity and yields; for TT Nomad these are the wrong terms to describe our vision. | + | |

- | Deforestation (of the Amazon and all other (rain)forests that remain) has direct consequences for everywhere else in the world. Loss of biodiversity is tragic for many reasons but it is a local event, global warming however is a global event and rainforest preservation is one of the most important keys to combat it. Not because the Amazon are the lungs of the world (a persistent myth, the Amazon is carbon neutral) but because deforestation by fire releases a staggering amount of CO2: in 24 hours deforestation will release as much CO2 into the atmosphere as 8 million people flying from London to New York and the rate of deforestation in Brazil has risen for at least the last decade. 2009, due to the economic low is the only exception. From this TT Nomad concludes that we are all, in a sense, living in the Amazon. | + | |
