“…vast majority of city rainwater flows directly into the ocean.”
That is a lot of fresh water being dumped into the ocean. I wonder what the cost of recycling Los Angeles’ harvested/discarded rainwater would be like versus desalination?
“…forage that we humans cannot digest.”
I once heard (and read it somewhere again recently) a theory that our appendix may have been partly used for breaking down and digesting tree bark, leaves, grasses and such.
That theory is a happy rabbit hole to be sure. In reading this article, it seems it could be plausible. Except now Mother Nature is doing that for us? Either way, for me, this publication creates a clear and direct relational nexus as to the values of water, soils, plants and animals.

Thus us.
Thank you Liz for this solution evoking article!
Thanks Zak!
Glad you found it helpful in showing these important natural relationships.
