I've been walking around this planet for 50-odd years now, mindlessly enjoying tree-lined streets, tidy lawns, colorful yard plantings and the occasional bush. I always took it for granted that when people settled into neighborhoods, they brought with them the greatest hits from forests, meadows, etc. It's like they wanted nature to be within reach at all times so they didn't have to go to nature.
It just occurred to me that maybe we're being punished for moving nature to suit our desires. Seems rather selfish. Personally, I think you're annoyed that we're planting seeds wherever the heck we want -- as if your system wasn't good enough. Could this be why "bad things happen to good people?" If my assumption is correct, we will obviously need more guidance from above next time around. For Earth 2.0, could you please make your intentions clear right from the start? Otherwise, we'll just wing it and get into all sorts of trouble.
Or, quite possibly, I have this all wrong. If that's the case, I wish you would have told me before I made a fool of myself in front of the five people who will probably read this.
