OK! I'm at ~13,000 words and I've got loads more to say about environmentalist themes in the #LordOfTheRings. I really think this could be a book!

Today I looked at building with living nature. Real world indigenous peoples such as the Khasis in India use living trees as bridges. The elves of Lothlorien live in a city in the branches in the trees. Nonfiction, fiction; these are both visions of a world in which we live more in harmony with the world.

That sounds like a fascinating topic. Tolkien's obvious love of the natural world is one of my favorite things about The Lord of the Rings.

There are counter examples too, his villains are all polluters, even the smaller ones in the Scouring of the Shire.
