Grass Is The Most Wasteful Crop In The US. Should We Ban It?

The American Southwest is running out of water fast. Nevada is imposing a ban on all "useless grass," meaning the American dream of a manicured lawn and white picket fence could become a thing of the past.

@stux To answer the question "Should grass be banned":
No, because native grasslands are important to many ecosystems.
But use of non-native species in lawns and public spaces, and monstrosities like golf courses absolutely should be.

@mousefriend @stux No, grass in grasslands are very good and a carbon sink.
But lawns are not needed.

Travelled last year in US and I think, so much people there are obsessed with lawns, seems to be a status symbol. Such perfect lawns you see in Europe only maybe on golf courses or as newly delivered rolled lawn.
