Links to outside the text.

Nature has fought back, rebelled already, take for example, the liquefaction in ChCh. To date, it has gained hundreds of homes from the reach of man. They have been sucked into the sandy clay seas

Nature is being built over top of. For example, Hastings use to be a small farming town, the road to Havelock North use to be surrounded by corn fields and olive groves, but today man is changed the small town of hasting into a city of 450,000 people and subdivisions of boxlike houses. For example the frimey estate has hundreds or houses, all side by side, all so similar to their neighbouring houses.

The trees on the expressway between Napier and Hastings have been removed after 40 years and have been replaced with clean green plants. man is obsessed with being prim and clean. No variety.
