This is a long TED talk so I started it at 7 minutes. It also has bad sound so you have to turn up your computer's sound to hear the guy. But then he has video snippets he shows you where the sound is normal so it blasts you but not for long. Have fun watching.

Joni Mitchell wasn't kidding when she sang about the hissing of summer lawns.
Kirk - One day there will be a lawn revolt.
My vegetarian, gardening self feels guilty. Is guilty.
Sue - Is there a confession booth for plants?
I prefer to think of my roses as thankful when I prune them so they look nicer, and of my vegetables and herbs as joyfully sacrificing themselves out of love for my palate.
This is precisely why I don't grow house plants.
Bill - I saw a joke yesterday about a guy spending $140 in materials, working for 12 weeks in the garden, just to get a $.25 tomato.
Deb - Are you a member of "House Plants are People Too!"?
And all the trees communicate through the fungal network underground even sharing resources. Crows gather when one of them has been killed and have an inquest which scientists claim is really an attempt to understand what happened. The conscious universe seems a lot more believable to me these days
Great. Another thing to feel guilty about.
Fascinating stuff.
This is why we need those food replicators they have on Star Trek. Then we can make food from our poop and other waste products of our society.
Cloudia - I think I did a post on the fungal network a while back. But this seems to be updated info.
Matt - Unless... you don't feel guilty... BWAHAHAHAHA
Kathy - I agree.
John - I had one of those but threw it away! I guess I should have kept it!
