Life is nuanced. I also own a 4WD truck that I spin up on the weekend to haul stuff (small farm truck). I get the impression though that everyone thinks the electrification of mechanical equipment will stop climate change and they give no thought to where and how this stuff is produced. Perhaps it is because I grew up in Utah and have watched entire mountains disappear for things like copper and gravel. I live in a pretty liberal part of town and I find it ironically distateful that my neighbors all claim to be environmentalists yet they each own and operate a snowblower to clear the 50-100 feet of sidewalk they have, purchase new cars every 3-5 years so they can commute 10 minutes to the University, and travel internationally for recreational reasons more often than most. Sorry for the rant, but something about snowblowers just sets me off for some reason.

Good on you for trying to seed native perennials. I've also embarked on a similar quest and have found it more difficult than I thought do to a few invasive plant species in my area, but am making some steady progress.

Around here the worst "aggressives" seem to be the Teasel/Dipsacus (brought over from Europe because they were used in wool production or something?), Creeping Charlie (also Europeans), and Sumac. There are some native sumacs here but the fact that there are large chunks of sumac monoculture I think that some of the sumac in my area was introduced.

I'm in SW Wisconsin these days.
