Chapter 28 Ecology fo Eden
This chapter is about reclaiming “Arcadia”. Eisenberg here
suggests 2 different ways of doing so, one being coupling, and the other being
“the careful swain”. I would have to say coupling is probably the most proven
method. The pre Columbian Americans and South Americans seemed to use this
method, but it could be argued that this only works on a smaller scale than
what would be possible here in the United States now. While the South Americans
especially had massively populated cities surrounded by wilderness, but even
these numbers, which I heard somewhere estimated up to 100,000 aren’t even
close to the number of Americans that would have to be crammed together. Not
only that but we are dependent on this land to produce our food. It isn’t as
thought people are spread out for no reason at all. People use their land to
produce the things we need.
