Ok on one hand kill your lawn like absolutely. Fuck grass get rid of it grass sucks plant real plants.

On the other hand if you're gonna replace it with a bunch of tiny plastic painted bright green that in no way shape or form looks or feels like grass what's the point.

I have two wolves inside me and I don't know which one to let out.

It's a close competition between which is worse. Thr grass lawn is usually accompanied by a ton of inputs that drain off and mess with the water aupply and native plants. The plastic disintegrates and also ends up in water and animals.

I've heard that there are a variety of grass alternatives that are appropriate for different climatic regions. If it were me and I wanted an open space to mesd around in I'd look into that.
