stux⚡️In the French town of Mandelieu-la-Napoule, the mayor ordered to repaint the withered lawn green
Stacey Campbell@stux Not unusual in Los Angeles. However people often add a small sign explaining their dead lawn is painted green so their neighbors know they're not wasting water.
@stux I'll just add that many government entities in the western US have programs in place to encourage you to remove lawns and replace them with climate-appropriate plants.
Here's the very generous program for Los Angeles.

Emelia 👸🏻@stux I know this is a thing, but it's so gosh dang weird to me!

I read years ago that that's a common practice in some parts of the US.
Seems weird at first but might actually be more eco-friendly than pouring tons of (drinking) water over it.

GoatsLive@stux There are seeding trucks that spray a combination of seed, fertilizer, and green coloring all at the same time. Florida department of transportation does that all the time to new and old road easements
jonathan@stux Normalize not having a lawn

PS Jen@stux They could add more drought tolerant plants but "Painted Lawn" signs get people thinking about #WaterConservation.

Paint is the solution for climate change. 🤦🏻♂️

😻🇨🇦MimzyDub🇨🇦😻@stux how healthy is this for the grass and the ground in general? What kind of paint is used?
I know I'm weird, but I'd rather just see the brown grass, which is what just happens in dry conditions, then to see something like this.
