Having had the chore of mowing growing up I have hated lawns as long as I can remember. When I became a little more politically aware I disliked the pathetic pretense of every suburban house trying to look like a mini-English manor. With more environmental awareness came realization that these wasted spaces are actively contributing to the decline of the planet and the happiness of the people living on it. Glad there seems to be some academic research to back that up.
Many of us create or maintain lawns in our gardens without giving it a second thought. But could these innocent patches of greenery be a colossal waste of space?
