EcoCamping, EcoProposal, GrowHere, LegalizeMe, petition, Proposal
“EcoCamping” is living pro-generatively with Earth: residing outdoors and in temporary or earthen constructions, remediating soil, and sowing seeds of edible & functional plants.
By sanctioning EcoCamping, we gain: a life-supporting climate, the regeneration of our pollinator populations, development of new polycultural crops, and free local produce.
In collaboration with city governments, academic institutions and citizens, developing an EcoCamper program increases the value of our land by fostering healthy, beautiful and productive living environments.

🌱
The surrounding land is occupied with buildings and yards that can and should grow foods, yet right here there is an expanse that could serve the people and natural life if fostered as a food forest.
1. lay compost (such as picnicking) ; pick up litter
3. disperse seeds (wildflowers, forageables, fruit trees)
3. spread mulch
These actions can be done in small and large quantities. Greater chance of success the more this is done, so it’s recommended to have EcoCampers steward the land.
Locally-produced compost can be acquired through a neighborhood collection program, or from the culled, dumped greenwaste of local grocery stores.

There are many plants that could prevent fire and thrive in Placerville, CA. Some of these plants include: Blueblossom Ceanothus, Western Redbud, Blue-eyed Grass, Flannel Bush, California Fuchsia, Common Manzanita, Deergrass, and more. These plants are all native to Placerville and are known to be drought-tolerant and fire-resistant.
“Generate a list of plants that could prevent fire and thrive in Aldercroft region of Los Gatos, CA.”
Aldercroft is a region of Los Gatos, CA that is known for its beautiful landscapes and lush vegetation. The area is home to many different types of plants, including some that are known to be fire resistant. Here are a few examples of plants that could prevent fire and thrive in Aldercroft:
1. Lemonade Berry: This native shrub is known for its ability to resist fires. It also provides food and shelter for many animals.
2. Blue Grama Grass: This grass is not only fire resistant, but it also helps prevent soil erosion.
3. Crape Myrtle: This tree is known for its beautiful flowers and resistance to fires. It also provides shade and can help cool the surrounding air temperature.
4. Fatsia: This plant is known for its large leaves which can help protect other plants from heat and flames.
We drive our cars to pins placed on maps.

GPT-3: Write a compelling case for starting vertical gardens on buildings in downtown San Francisco.
As an iconic city known for its unique architecture and innovation, San Francisco has the opportunity to lead the way in sustainable urban agriculture by implementing vertical gardens on buildings in the downtown area.
Here are some of the benefits that starting vertical gardens on buildings in downtown San Francisco could provide:
Increased Green Space: By utilizing the vertical space on buildings, we can create more green space in the city without sacrificing valuable land. This can help to reduce the urban heat island effect, which occurs when cities trap heat, making them warmer than surrounding rural areas.
Improved Air Quality: Plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, which can help to improve air quality in the city. This is especially important in downtown areas where there is a high concentration of traffic and pollution.
Enhanced Aesthetics: Vertical gardens can enhance the beauty of buildings and create a more visually appealing cityscape. This can improve the overall quality of life for residents and visitors to the city.
Increased Food Production: Vertical gardens can be used to grow a variety of fruits, vegetables, and herbs, providing a source of fresh produce for residents and reducing the carbon footprint associated with transporting food from rural areas.
Economic Benefits: By creating vertical gardens on buildings, we can transform unused or underutilized space into a source of revenue. Restaurants, hotels, and other businesses can use the fresh produce grown on-site, and surplus food can be sold at local farmers’ markets.
Educational Opportunities: Vertical gardens can be used to teach the community about sustainable agriculture, nutrition, and the benefits of green space in the city. Schools and community organizations can use the gardens for educational purposes, promoting healthy eating and environmental awareness.
In conclusion, starting vertical gardens on buildings in downtown San Francisco would provide a variety of benefits for the community, including increased green space, improved air quality, enhanced aesthetics, increased food production, economic benefits, and educational opportunities. By utilizing innovative and sustainable solutions like vertical gardens, we can create a more livable, healthy, and sustainable city for all.

GPT-3: Write a compelling case for starting a food forest at Dolores Park in San Francisco.
Dolores Park is an iconic public space in San Francisco that draws locals and tourists alike to enjoy its stunning views, open green spaces, and community events. While the park is already a beautiful place, it has the potential to become even more valuable to the community by establishing a food forest.
A food forest is a type of garden that mimics the structure and function of a natural forest ecosystem but is composed of edible plants. This would provide a unique opportunity to create an immersive, educational experience for park visitors, showcasing how food can be grown sustainably and organically within an urban environment.
Here are some of the benefits that establishing a food forest at Dolores Park could provide:
Increased Food Security: As the world’s population grows and climate change continues to disrupt traditional agricultural practices, establishing a food forest can help to build resilience and food security in the community. By growing a variety of fruits, vegetables, and nuts, a food forest can help to diversify the food supply and provide a sustainable source of fresh produce for the local community.
Educational Opportunity: A food forest would provide an excellent opportunity for the community to learn about sustainable food systems and the benefits of locally grown food. The park could offer educational tours, workshops, and classes, providing visitors with the knowledge and skills needed to start their own food gardens.
Improved Biodiversity: Food forests are designed to mimic natural ecosystems, which can increase biodiversity in the park. This would create habitat for wildlife and support the growth of native plant species, providing environmental benefits to the community.
Community Building: A food forest would provide a space for the community to come together and work towards a common goal. Volunteers could help with planting, maintenance, and harvesting, fostering a sense of community and ownership over the park.
Health Benefits: Access to fresh produce is essential for maintaining a healthy diet, and a food forest would provide an opportunity for the local community to access free, nutritious food. This would be especially important for low-income families and those living in food deserts.
In conclusion, establishing a food forest at Dolores Park would provide a unique opportunity to create a sustainable, educational, and community-building experience for the local community. By leveraging the power of nature and sustainable food systems, we can improve food security, increase biodiversity, and promote health and well-being in San Francisco.
