Homogeneity is actually naturally dangerous to our survival.Įcotone may be a new word to you. Hybridity is a good thing, naturally and for the human. There we do not dominate, except at our own peril. Likewise, we are putting human interest, albeit the interest of the most powerful humans on the planet, above animal interest, forgetting what an Eden or ecotone really is.Īn ecotone is like a permaculture, where humans are part of a much larger natural ecosystem. Oddly, in dominion over our borders we are once again making the same mistake, putting some humans over others in an attempt to protect our humanity. Oddly, this whole debate about mixing and crossing shines a new light on Lynn White's famous 1967 essay, "The Historical Roots of Our Ecologic Crisis." White was rightly concerned that a theology of dominion, of man or woman or human dominating nature, was the source of our dangerous behavior toward out own nests. We assume that the walls will prohibit this kind of mixing up of the genomes, as if mixing up was not the clear destination of creation and evolution. The couple broke up, even though the parents' dismay made the Mexican wall's absurdity less comical. Her parents flipped out, and I do mean flipped out, at the idea of cross-racial breeding, even though such a possibility was way down the road and as it proved, never quite happened. I remember when my daughter's roommate, who is a white Texan, fell in love with a Mexican student at their college. The birds will probably be okay but any animal, including the human that can't fly will be in trouble. The "ecotone" - the point where two different ecosystems meet and integrate - will be lost and a phony national environment will come into being. Animals will be cut off from their habitats. Ranchers on the border are making some of the most interesting arguments about "border control." They don't think the wall is ecologically wise. Foxes would no longer have holes, as Jesus might put it. What is even more perplexing, though, is what the built border wall would do to biodiversity. On human terms, it is beyond ridicule, if not unprecedented as a Trojan sham. And some Mexicans already have a slogan: If they build it 20 feet, we will jump 40. It is a long, long border on our southern edge - 1,989 miles, to be precise. The possibility that a wall might be built separating the United States and Mexico is preposterous enough all on its own terms. Requires fewer waterings per harvest than other post-consumer growing mats.Men fish in Saguaro Lake in the Tonto National Forest outside of Mesa, Ariz., March 21, 2016. INSTRUCTIONS: Water from the bottom of the tray and lightly pour out excess to help prevent mold. Ecotone Hydroponic Grow Mats help to find a creative and efficient use for discarded plastic bottles as an alternative to landfills or worse. Many hydroponic grow mats offer a post-consumer product, but Ecotone is the only grow mat that can be recycled afterwards. While much softer than Jute or MicroMat, Ecotone is firmer and more dense than Biostrate or Bamboo grow mats, allowing water to be more evenly distributed throughout the grow mat while requiring fewer daily waterings. Ideal for both large and small microgreens and sprouting seeds such as arugula, clover, pea, radish, and many more. Fits 10” x 20” microgreens trays and can be cut to fit any 10” x 10” tray or smaller. Ecotone Hydroponic Grow Mats are made from 100% post-consumer plastic bottles and can be recycled again after harvest. Ecotone Hydroponic Grow Mats from Sustainable Seed Company.
