Sounds quite utopian - but what we really need to address is what to do with all the pollution - especially the pollution coming down upon us in the form of toxic emissions from airplane and low grade ship bunker fuels.

We need to consider some kind of air quality and improved technology into this utopia creation for the reciprocation to those pollinator gardens and benefitting ecosystems in general, otherwise, they may not be able to revitalize.

We often forget to consider our biosphere in a 3D manner so I'm just suggesting, we can clean up the waste production like fuels being used and look at what we can do to minimize landfills and other garbage and waste issues of our past 70 years.

This will cost more to do, but the need for a healthy ecosystem is at the cost otherwise.

Investing in cleaner technologies that are effective in creating reciprocation with nature may be other means to support a healthier view on all things.

If we replaced the term and it's current definitions of "sustainability" for the term "reciprocity" this is the difference - with reciprocity, the balance is in the natural balance of things. especially where our natural resources are considered.

Couldn't find that resource info page, so I'll leave this here.

I ran across https://www.strongtowns.org'', a community first organization that may be of interest.

My first exposure to them was this link.
