Fried_out_Kombi[meme] Lawns and car storage — name a more wasteful use of land
deaniaI was about to say golf courses, but then I realized that people actually use golf courses to play golf, which is more then the average lawn is used for
Hey that’s not true…. Lawns get used all the time for… err…… proving to neighbouring households that the Lawn Owner is rich enough to grow something useless there? Idk tbh
I have a small lot (0.2 acres) with a small lawn, my kids play on it all of the time. It’s the only reason I haven’t gotten rid of it all and replaced it with native species.
GratefullyGodlessWhen I was a kid, we used our lawn, our friends lawns, and neighbor’s lawns constantly. After school, we would be out there playing games like tag, red light, football, Frisbee, or some other excuse for running around outside, until we gad to go on and have dinner and then work on homework.
Having those yards kept us kids sane, and probably our parents too, as we had places to burn off energy, and get out of their hair for awhile.
If there isn’t anywhere else to play but your own lawn, then your area has inadequate infrastructure. There should be multiple parks within a short, safe walk along with other things for kids to do that don’t require everyone having their own dedicated lawns.
I have 7 acres and I rotate my goats around the entire property to eat. I Don’t have to buy hay or mow it’s great.
