A: They kill me. If there's one thing we can do to increase the ability of other animals to live in the places we do it's to get rid of lawns. A little patch here and there for robins or for us to play soccer on is fine, but it is just out of control. That's the message. That's not subirdia. That's suburbia. But that's what could be converted for a lot of win-win. People could spend less time on lawns, less energy and generate greater carbon storage. Almost anything about the lawn comes out as a negative for the environment.
