@foundseed@spore.social I live in Poland. We do not have a tradition of sustainable land stewardship. We don't have indigenous people who would teach us how to coexist with ecosystems.
We don't even have a concept of sustainability in Polish. Its only balance or balanced growth.
We need a new language to imagine doing that, in our way.

@alxd@writing.exchange it took me awhile to get back to this point because I wanted to do some reading. I want to validate how hard of a problem you, and a lot of Europeans, face. Your land was the first assimilated, and colonized over and over (especially yours). Decolonizing and reindigenizing Europe will be the historic feat of our species. So I want to ask in all earnestness: have you asked the people who have lived in your mountains for six centuries? Have you looked outside your nation's borders?
