would guess this would also be a good demographic for related environmental pushes: “No Mow May”, “Food, Not Lawns”, native lawns and landscaping (even better, native species protected from HOAs), front-yard food gardens, …
Exactly. Getting rid of the lawn altogether is the first step. Plant more trees, grow a garden, plant native plants for pollinators.
Having a big yard full of grass that you need an ICE powered by fossil fuels to maintain is soulless insanity.
I've carved up my lawn to plant trees and native plants beds, but still have sections that are grass. It's a great play space for the kids, and with the trees there's enough shade to really limit the amount of irrigation necessary during the worst of the summer. Point is, lawns aren't inherently bad, their extent and how you manage them are what matter most.
