RE: The killing fields

in Photography Lovers10 days ago

I knew that when farmers grow crops like corn an wheat etc... it creates a monoculture, and nothing else is allowed to exist... It hadn't occurred to me that these vast fields of tulips would be the same, but of course they are.

At least a field of food crops has the purpose of feeding people, even though thats a poor excuse to kill everything else that could live along side it, but all that effort to grow tulips (and other commercial flowers) just so the flowers can be picked and admired for 2 weeks max, before getting thrown away.

What a waste of effort, what a waste of space!

Yes sure, the pictures are striking, and the colours are amazing... but when you consider what it means to create these... it's such a shame

Thank you for sharing this, I'll never look at these fields of flowers in the same way again

Sort:  

These flowers are shopped of and thrown away. These are grown for their bulbs. And it's even worse in the Netherlands, all the grasland are also monoculture. There is hardly any clovers ore herblike flowers, ect, in those fields, just englishe ray grass.
