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….
