I know this meme comm, but anyone have good resources on how to not be a part of this statistic?

I bet our Lemmy comrades on https://slrpnk.net/ have a handle on it

https://xerces.org/ may have info you are looking for. Depending on where you live you may be able to find seeds of local flowering plants that do well as a lawn replacement, for example: https://northwestmeadowscapes.com/

Kill Your Lawn

Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't. One of the best YouTube channels

I appreciate the call out that a natural replacement of local plants is low maintenance, not NO maintenance. The front of your house doesn't have to look like you died in the bathtub the winter before.

This man helped me kill the lawn inside myself, and now I've killed my lawn and I'm on my way to kill my parents' (lawn) too. I might have even accidentally learned some botany along the way

A really great channel
