"Green Living"

[Les C]

I believe that many of the programs to remove invasives are coupled with an effort to replant and replace with natives. So, it's not just a removal of biomass, but a replacement. Other aspects to consider are the native species that depend on the native vegetation to survive. And, in turn, the native vegetation depends on the native species to pollinate and provide other necessary requirement for the plants' survival. The "eco-folks", as you put it, aren't all narrow-minded about what they promote. Ecology is about how things interact, systems that need other systems. If people are disregarding this, then they are misguided.

Now, I may refer to things in generalizations, in fact, I don't really know how many programs are replacing invasives with natives. By the same token, I believe that some folks are wont to make generalizations about what "eco-folks" want, or who they are.
