Look at the dead spots in waters near cities- LA's was, as of 2 years ago, more than 400 square miles; Lake Erie's dead spots are getting larger and lasting longer; and then there is Hong Kong. Miami, by drawing groundwater far beyond recharge, is turning the soil salty as sea water seeps inland. And look at aquafers- the Ogalla (sp?) is just the best example of those collapsing from poor harvesting techniques.And it doesn't even have to be cities- look at the erosion on the deltas that New Orleans and in Egypt due to soil retention by farmers on the floodplains of the rivers that feed them. A lot of people are going to be homeless in Egypt in the coming decades unless the Aswan is removed (and how likely is that?).Now that I think about this, I find that nature worshipping druids definately have a place within urban areas- trying to abate these issues and problems.</blockquote>
