do you have kids? they love playing outside. barefoot. and a nice lawn is a paradise for bare feet. not to mention the actual process of mowing (electric mower) is very peaceful and good for my mental health. super therapeutic.

Sure, but we also want those kids to have food when they grow up, don't we?

hot take: you can have bee gardens AND a lawn

Or you can have a clover lawn, which is nice for insects as well as kids.

Kids don't dislike long, unkept grass either, as long as you keep the thistles out.

seems pretty naive to think that it’s joe homeowner that’s the problem, and not insecticides and fertilizers from mega farm corporations like monsanto. let me know where to mail my apology letter lol
