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.

@derek Have you read Matthew Dickerson? “Ents, Elves, and Eriador” has a lot of good stuff on environmentalism.

@Virginicus Thanks for the recommendation, I'm reading the book now.

It's really impressive. Dickerson and Evans did academically what I hope for a general audience. I see some things I know, and I'm learning a ton.
