Summary
The Idler team believe that idleness is unjustly criticized in modern society when it is, in fact, a vital component of a happy life. This new issue of the Idler looks at man, nature, and the earth and reveals that doing nothing is the only way to save the planet. Pieces include Richard Benson on growing a wild flower meadow and noted Gaia scientist Stephen Harding on why we need to stop interfering with nature.
