Now wait... Lawns are a total waste... They waste nitrogen... They pollute with fertilizers... The contribute to global warming becasue they need to be mowed (gasoline) and because grass (mowed) does not exchange CO for oxegen as taller and better developed plants...

I'd like to see as part of a new energy policy a one acre rstriction on mowing... There is no need to have 20 acres of mowed grass around anyone's home... The exceptions would be parks and golf courses... But residential??? Screw 20 acres of grass... There are grasses that are just fine that grow to 15-24 inches and lots of wild flowers that can grown amongst them... That is the way we will one day live... Smaller lawns and more natural palny material... Okay, they will always be some weed amterial but if we were to but an emphasis on hibridizing grasses and wild flowers that are tough then they will beat out the weeds...

Time for ending big grass lawns... Very irresponsible and not good for anyone...
