Forest and Ownership of the Land

By Liliana Usvat



I just came back from a trip to Miami Florida.
I usually spent  the time between flights by reading.
If I find a good idea in the book that I am reading I consider that time a time well spent.

I usually find good ideas. This time I read an autobiography: "Frank Stronach The Magna Man My road to Economic Freedom." ( Frank Stronach is a Canadian immigrant from Austria that built an empire within a 50 years of time span in Canada employing 110,000 people having 380 factories in 38 countries and a $30 billions in sales at the present date. He arrived in Canada with no money and started with a tool and die shop.)

Here is one idea from the book that I totally agree with.

"A ownership mentality is a powerful force. It transform the world around us You can give the most fruitful and productive land to renters, people with no stake in the ownership of future of the property and over time the property will likely turn into overgrown bush or desert. But if you give people ownership of some dry and rocky land they will work to transform it into flourishing gardens full of food and flowers. And so it is with society."

I believe this is the solution to transform large portions of desert and rocky land into forests. The ownership of the land to families. The ownership of the land will brig back the equilibrium of the ecosystems.
