Great comment @lovenfreedom! I don't understand why people trash their place either, but they do. My personal experience is that it happens more often (and this is a worldwide observation) in conjunction with poverty. I've got some thoughts around that to explore in a post. If/when I write it, I'll link back here.

My kids are now 13 - 19. They used to enjoy working on the garden, making trails or raking leaves. They still do all those things although I'm not sure I'd use the word "enjoy" in conjunction with it anymore. :) LOL!

Thanks for your thoughtful comment.
