Most cemeteries are in remnant native vegetation Lorne. Or you could

Yeah, right on man. Unfortunately agriculture and horticulture are also
major degraders of land. Think about how cotton is grown in Australia. I
don't think that many vegans realise how un-cool cotton garments are in
terms of how cotton is produced, or the synthetics that are by-products of
the petrochemical industry for that matter. We need to de-stigmatise hemp
fibre, and grow it on otherwise marginal farmland - before southern
Australia gets snowed under with Blue Gum plantations ......... and various
other major shifts.
I guess this ramble means that thinking about bird-friendly means of
production can not be solved in terms of simplistic solutions such as
increased vegetarianism.
