[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at all of these jerks who prioritize a superficial landscape over the health of other people and the natural balance that all life depends on. Just basic selfishness by the proudly ignorant among us. [/quote]
I get the heightened feelings around the subject and I’m probably pretty much in agreement with you otherwise, but calling people selfish and proudly ignorant isn’t the way to convince anyone to read up on the subject. Insulting people prevents people from learning that grass leads to more runoff and flash floods, that the soil culture is essentially dead and is absorbing almost no carbon, that the creation and shipping of all the lawn chemicals pushes more carbon into the atmosphere, and that monoculture lawns mean there’s nowhere for our pollinators, which means no birds.

For the record, I get pretty gnarly vertigo when I inhale too much the lawn poisons (I don’t know if it’s the pesticide or the herbicide or maybe a bouquet of that plus fertilizer, but whatever they apply wet that stinks for two or three days is ratchet), but don’t insult people. It doesn’t help our cause (and it’s such an important cause). [/quote]
