Lawns:

1. require artificial irrigation that contributes to depletion ofvaquifers

2. create monocultures that reduce biodiversity and harm ecosystems

3. require maintenance that usually involves burning fossil fuels

4. shadeless lawns contribute to warmer neighborhoods

5. act as nitrogen sinks

I love mowing lawns. Put some headphones on and a good audiobook and I can mow for hours. I'm actually a little sad that I only have a small lawn now, because I can barely get into a rhythm before I'm done.

Then we spread water unnecessarily all over the lawn to help it grow?

The only thing that sucks about it... is paying someone $65/week to get it done. I seriously need a zero turn mower.
