I suppose I mean like things that heavily forested areas are typically cleared to grow. Soybeans, coffee beans, etc.. there are some more sustainable plants and stuff to pick from and some that are horrific in their land use

Avoid products that contain agriculture heavy products like palm oil and basically any plantation crop. Please do understand that unlike this sort of deforestation, logging for the most part is done in a sustainable way in the United States at least. In fact a lot of issues we’re having right now are due to loss of early successional habitat from the frantic tree planting done by the logging industries back in the day.

Once a tree dies it releases any carbon it captured. Doesn’t really matter where it ends up. Mulching and composting are probably the best options.

The way my professor (phd in wildlife ecology) phrased it made it seem to be flat. Red fox do particularly well in urban environments. One of our projects was to create a hypothetical management plan for a forested area for a specific species and she stated that for red fox, increased urbanisation would highly benefit them.

Learned in my wildlife management class in university this semester that biodiversity in mammals actually increases with urbanisation. That being said I hate urbanisation.

Oh yeah I just assumed that was common knowledge at this point that’s my bad. If you’re gonna eat meat you should probably hunt your own
