Thank you, @lemouth. It was @mobbs' blog about China that piqued my interest. I did a lot of research a couple of years ago on the Yuan Dynasty (art) and remembered that the dynasty came to an end for many reasons--one was a disastrous flood. I started looking into what caused the flood, and learned about the Loess Plateau.
So glad the blog reads well. Hope @mobbs approves...he's the China expert :)
As for learning about what benefits the planet, and putting profit above social good:
... they did but don’t care.
Frustrating, isn't it?
I appreciate your nice comment. Research and writing are rewarding, but not so much in a vaccum. Positive feedback helps:)
Very frustrating :(
