RE: The Politics of Water...

in #politics7 years ago

And I have been a proponent against lawn grass for years. Any place that requires irrigation for more than 1 month out of the year... should incentivize against growing and maintaining grass. Front yard veggie gardens....I'm ok with them!

Sort:  

I'm with you 100%... I am constantly bitching and moaning about people planting non-native landscaping and grass. Then they use 1000's of gallons of water to keep that garbage and their grass green during the dry season. The really sad part about this particular issue in my part of the world, is many community associations and local governments will issue fines if your lawns are not "maintained" at a certain standard. In other words, if your grass is brown and ugly looking, they can give you a ticket, basically imposing excessive unnecessary water use. All done to fool the tourists into thinking they're in paradise...

Thanks for the comment(s) @justincase - much appreciated...

I'm in the USA. And in many states and communities it is the same. Afew have wisened up. But not enough.
