Should lawns be outlawed?

Think about it– these big stupid lawns in front of suburban homes and golf courses are taking up huge amounts of water and they also add to the problem of red tide with all the fertilizer use, not to mention the pesticides and weed killers dumped on the lawn that drains to our water table. Why not go to a natural landscape with native plants that are used to the climate of a given region? Then we don’t need to waste resources on something as silly as a generic green weedfree grass lawn. WHAT IS SO FABULOUS ABOUT A STUPID GREEN LAWN?
I don’t live in a “crappy apartment” I own home but don’t aspire to have a fabulous lawn. Your point of view is what is wrong with living in America, that sense of entitlement. I butterfly garden and allow weeds and plant native species.

I have been shrinking my lawn area for years with landscaping of shrubs, trees, perrenials and groundcovers. I don’t use pesticides. I don’t water my lawn, if it dries up, so be it. But being in Ohio, that really isn’t a problem.
It’s not just pesticides and weed killers, but the gas it takes to cut the lawns….

BenderStik Golf Training Aid $99.95 BenderStik Golf Training Aid The BenderStik golf training aid is uniquely designed to help you build a consistent golf swing that will last for a lifetime. To improve at golf you must use either positive or negative feedback while training your swing. With the BenderStik golf swing trainer, it doesn?t matter where or when you practice, the Benderstik provide this all-important feedback, which is imperative for improvement. No one picks up a club for the first time and swings it with a naturally proper and efficient motion. The reason we all have the different golf swings we do is because we repeated the motion over and over until it built a motor program in our brain. With this repetition comes familiarity and comfort. In order to change and improve your current motor program you must use feedback to disrupt the old familiar movement and to guarantee the new desired swing motion is actually occurring. This type of practice produces correct new feelings, which ultimately transfer to the course during play after enough correct repetitions. The more you practice with feedback, the more ingrained the new motion becomes and the more reliable the new swing. Practice does not make perfect, but perfect practice makes perfect and if you are not using feedback in your practice you are wasting your time.
