I will admit there is something very pleasing about looking at a well trimmed yard.
That said, the percent of the earth’s land surface covered by manicured lawns is tiny. The ag industry would love for you to believe your lawn is the problem. It isn’t. The problem is the monoculture farm land. Acres of fields with only one type of crop. And probably other things like pollution and such. But industries love to play the “you are the problem” card to divert from themsleves.
Yeah but you could easily have a patch of lush green grass the size of this one in your lawn and also some nice flower beds, bushes, trees and whatever else. Most people want some of that, not just a plain garden with no features. The problem isn’t peoples’ yards, it’s pesticides.

This is the correct answer, this shit is „your carbon footprint“ all over again
“Walk to work, ignore corporate consumption, and use only the highest quality refined petroleum products, and go easy on the avocados.”
This + a massive over usage of pesticides
