I will admit there is something very pleasing about looking at a well trimmed yard. That said, the percent of the earth's land surface covered by manicured lawns is tiny. The ag industry would love for you to believe your lawn is the problem. It isn't. The problem is the monoculture farm land. Acres of fields with only one type of crop. And probably other things like pollution and such. But industries love to play the "you are the problem" card to divert from themsleves.
This + a massive over usage of pesticides
