Bread and CircusesSomeone in Hungary has cleverly posed a very good question...
Is this what we call progress?

I've seen a similar trend with indoor plastic plants. Appearantly, plastic flowers have insane prices these days. I even see them in restaurants that promote themselves with words like 'real food', 'organic' and 'fresh ingredients' ... And still they expect me to eat the food prepared a place where the employees can't even manage to keep alive the houseplants in the dining area?
Juggling With Eggs@anchr @breadandcircuses I’ve been househunting for my parents over past few weeks and I’ve been stunned at how many small inner city gardens have plastic grass. This trend seems to have gathered pace since lockdown. The giveaway is bright green perfect lawn in March. I’d much rather see some moss and it looking slightly overgrown with a few weeds over fake and sterile.

Exactly. A few years back, it was popular to use house plants as air purifiers, scrubbing all kinds of nasty gasses from the air. Plastic plants are only likely to give nasty gasses, and to be a place where dust etc accumulates.
