Takeaway #4: Sustainability

Whilst The Dignity of Labour makes for a good song title, I assure you that spending hours in a garden weeding can be slow back-breaking work.

Erraid, despite a regular flow of willing visitors and rainfall, cannot sustain itself with sufficient wood or organic veg and needs to ship in sacks of food and logs from the mainland throughout the year.

If you want to do away with oil, tractors, chainsaws, combine harvesters, transportation, nuclear power, weed-killer and GM resistant veg affordable to the masses, then the world is going to have to starve or reduce its population.
