I have a quick but important ask. As you're probably aware, Green Dreamer is an independent

podcast and we don't take on corporate advertisers to fund our work because we don't want those

considerations to influence our curiosities or our abilities to question whatever it is that we want to question.

So if you value and believe in our work, this is our call out.

We need your direct support in order to continue this podcast.

And you can help us out so, so much through a paid substack subscription to my newsletter at

camaya.substack.com or through a one-time

donation at greendreamer.com slash support. It really means a lot to have you here and we're so

grateful for whatever form or level of support that you're able to share with us.

Green Dreamer is supported by our listener patrons.

And to be honest, my goal is to have at least 10% or just one in 10 of our regular listeners

supporting the show.

And we have ways to go until we reach that point.

So if you've been finding our work valuable and you're able to support the

show starting at just $2 per month, like a simple morning's cup of tea, you can head to

greendreamer.com slash support to learn more. And thank you so much if you're already a supporter of the

show. What you have in cities basically is more analogous to putting animals in a feed lot.

So take all those cattle that were on pasture, let's say, at a right stocking rate, jam them into

dense urban centers, and now you've got to truck all of the food in, and then you've got to

basically somehow truck out all the waste. That's what cities are.

Getting final services delivered to people in urban centers is really efficient.

But that does not mean that from like a biomimicry perspective, it makes any sense.
