Have there been any censuses/surveys of the blind community concerning this—I would be interested in their perspective

Plant avoidance

Ignoring plants

Plant apathy?

I do love “vegetinattention” and “notany”, but they’re probably hard to get to catch on.

Plant inattention

I support a name change!

If this term is meant to help bring more attention to plants, it should be as inclusive as possible. I didn’t like the suggested terms with “Ignorance” , but did like “Plant Indifference or Unawareness” . If at all possible, more disabled voices need to be heard. “No decisions about us without us” is a common disability justice movement quote.

Surprised by the deaf person as many other disabled folks are quite upset about this term!

PB vs PAD vs ???

Most of my social/professional circle tries to keep "up to date" with proper terminology for things but it can make it hard for students to follow when terms are changing. I've been using PAD in the classroom since the Parsley paper was published and while I'm not opposed to a new term I think a new name may add to confusion. With that said I love Notany as a replacement but that's definitely because I'm a plant scientist
