Lawns Are an Ecological Disaster

Thank you for posting this (and for the author writing it).

It is unbelievable how little attention is paid to the environment cost of lawns in developed nations.

Just the fresh water consumption by these unnatural 'fashion' monsters is scary:

>"... It gets better. All America’s farmland consumes 88.5 million acre feet of water a year. Lawns, with a fraction of the land, drink an estimated two-thirds as much. Most municipalities use 30-60 percent of drinkable water on lawns.

California is special. If you thought Trump tweets made no sense, LA, prior to the big drought, 70 percent of your water loss came courtesy of lawns. Water use throughout California seems to be rebounding to pre-drought levels. Lawns are soaked once more. ..."
