A neighbor was fertilizing his grass this week. I thought: Is it time for me to start getting my lawn in shape?
Of course. This is what Ive done every spring. Its what you do if you have a home with a yard, in America.
But: More people are opting out of lawn care. For now, that shift is largely in places with freshwater shortages, and its mostly because arid towns and cities are placing restrictions on watering. But in 100 years, our great-great grandchildren will look at our lush lawns as quaint and distasteful, much the way we remember previous generations that blithely threw trash out the car window.
But: It is not 2114. It is 2014, and the social expectation now is that when you buy a home in a neighborhood full of green lawns, you keep your lawn green. It is, in fact, not only a cultural norm, but an economic pact. My fescue contributes to a collective curb appeal that benefits the property values of all. Its neighborly.
But: That lawn makes you a poor citizen of Earth. The fertilizer we use leaches into the ground and causes algae in lakes and rivers. The weed killer is dangerous to animals and aquatic life. In trying to approximate nature with our patch of green, we are harming it.
But: This is true of many choices we make. We could always do more for the environment, no? We could bike to work instead of driving. We could live in a home with less square footage to heat. We could drink from nothing but glass. Easing our ecological guilt is a Sisyphean exercise. Well never get that boulder to the top of the hill.
But: The same is true in reverse. The more you care how your lawn looks, the more time you put into seeding and watering and mowing and raking it.
But: Thats what 12-year-old sons are for.
But: Theres an emotional commitment, too. The better your grass looks, the more obsessive you get about it. Being great at lawns is like being great at golf. You never truly appreciate the successes, because the joy is ruined by that one miss, that one patch of crabgrass. Plus, both cost a ton.
But: That money is an economic driver. The lawn care industry contributes about $25 billion and 900,000 jobs to the economy each year. And it helps provide income opportunities for sons looking for spending money.

Mixed reaction to Rawtenstall town centre plan
11:30am Friday 14th March 2014 in News
OPINION is divided on plans for the future of Rawtenstall town centre following a public consultation on the masterplan.
Rossendale Together Barnfield Partnership unveiled initial ideas for the redevelopment, including a town square, a new bus station and grass-covered roofs.
Council leader Alyson Barnes said she was very happy with the turnout for the two-day consultation at Longholme Methodist Church.
She said: It was fantastic to see so many people taking the opportunity to look at the plans and discuss the ideas with the architectural team.
I think the plans demonstrate that we really mean business and are committed to doing whats right for Rossendale.
The plans have been put forward by the board, comprised of the council, development partners Barnfield, Together Housing and designers Day Architectural.
However the proposals were criticised by Rossendale MP Jake Berry, who said: There were some interesting ideas, with what appeared to be a lot of steel, glass and green roofs.

The televised comments of one of Premier Alison Redfords closest allies have resulted in a quick and harsh backlash from members of the official opposition.
Sandra Jansen, Calgary-North West MLA, appeared on CTVs Power Play on Friday afternoon. During the interview, Jansen lashed out at former Tory MLA Len Webber and his accusations against Premier Redford, specifically her tendency to bully others.
I would say right now if Len had such a problem with what he perceived as bullying he should perhaps reconsider his decision to step into federal politics, said Jansen during the Power Play segment. Maybe he should go back to being an electrician.
Following the recording, Jansen tweeted an apology, not to Webber, but to electrical workers in general.
On Thursday, Len Webber, Calgary-Foothills MLA, announced his decision to sit as an independent citing the premiers spending of taxpayer dollars and her fits of rage and temper tantrums.
Immediately following the CTV Power Play broadcast, members of the Wildrose party demanded an apology from Jansen.
"Skilled tradespeople are the glue that holds this economy together, and for a PC minister to be so condescending and insulting towards them is completely unacceptable," said Wildrose Jobs, Skills, Labour and Training Critic Gary Bikman in a media release.
