Joel Salatin.
Some of ya are familiar with this man and his work. His attitude
towards farming also works small scale, as in gardening.

“We should at least be asking, Is there a righteous way to farm and an
unrighteous way to farm? ... The first goal is to at least get people
to appreciate that how we farm is a moral question,” he says. “Once
you get to that point, then you can actually discuss: What is a moral
farm? What is a moral way to raise a chicken?”

LOL! If ever there were a prima facie irrefutable argument for twit
lists, OP and the followup are it! They've slimed rec.gardens.edible,
too, but folks there have ignored it so far. Who's going to save the
world from the save-the-world zeolots?

Remember, a world is a terrible thing to lose.

Snow melting a glimmer of mud
Good yet the cold Hell in some world views
Yields yet again...
Eternal return played out yet again.
Bill again. Put my electric snow shovel away being in denial.

There is nothing inherently wrong with zealotry. While never ending
enthusiasm can be a little annoying if you don't share it, there are far
worse afflictions that we need to deal with.
I have trouble with those whose belief is non rational and absolutely
excludes there being any other point of view, they will not listen or
properly debate but merely proselytise . It is by debate that the non
rational parts of our thoughts (and we all have them) can be ironed out.
Even if we disagree with their views those who are honestly engaged with
issues earn their place. Of course you have the right to twit filter them
but before you do are you sure that there is nothing to learn from them?
Without a few zealots the world would be rather dull and probably change
more slowly than is healthy.
