1. Water usage.
2. Removing natural flora to replace it with an invasive grass species.
3. Energy consumption in maintaining the lawn besides water.
4. Poor use of land resource.
5. The fuckwit tech bros, oligarchs, nepo babies and other absolute cunts who play this game and have built the culture of exclusion that echoes the discriminatory and elitist origins of this game.

The space it takes up.

I was visiting a friend, and their whole neighborhood was immigrants. One thing that was clearly different was their lawn barely had grass, at most a patch of 6x6, and everything else was vegetable garden and most trees were fruit trees. 6-7 different types of fruits in the front lawn instead of ornamental plans and seasonal vegetables on backyard.

I really don't understand the obsession with wasting good land to put useless things. And put so much resources in maintaining it

I don't do anything with my lawn except trim it every few weeks. The amount of stuff that is just growing wild is awesome.

My neighbour brags every year about spending $400 a month watering his St Augustine, then asks me what my secret is since I never water my full sun lawn and it's lush all summer.

The answer he never believes is that the secret is controlled neglect. Anything that survived the summer and winter gets a month to grow in the spring to put down roots, then it gets mowed every other week at the second to highest deck level.

That means that my lawn is almost completely comprised of local species.

Suburban lawns are not only bad for the environment due to the wasted lawns and a lack of nature but they also inherently require extremely poor urban planning. When you spread people out into suburbs you force people to take cars which is horrible for peoples mental health and the environment. Furthermore houses are significantly less energy efficient than apartment buildings.

What we need instead is dense cities, with good public transportation, plenty of public spaces, so that we can shrink the amount of land we live on and allow nature to return.

A rabbit loves behind our house and he thanks us for the habitat by eating our asters before they can flower!

I’m kidding. We’ve got two bird nests on our property, a hive(?) of burrowing sweat bees, rabbits, many robins, and lately a raccoon.

I find it fun to watch the activity out there. It’s nice seeing things grow in our garden, fauna and flora alike.

ETA: we used to have foxes but they literally paved over where their den was for a parking lot. Now I haven’t seen any foxes. They were fun to watch.

Thankfully, golf courses are very easy to sabotage.

Often protected by minimal if any fencing, and there are a thousand different ways to make little environmentally-friendly changes to the greens that will irritate the fuck out of golfers.

Say the line, Rollie!
