I mean if you want to talk about sequestering carbon, there's all sorts of natural lawn options that aren't actively planting an invasive species that has proven to be really bad at doing any sort of water filtration or absorption. In fact, I'd wager that planting (and letting grow) prairie or whatever your native biome supports probably sequesters more carbon, assuming your native ecosystems aren't straight up desert. Even if they are, you're now using so much less water that it's a huge net win there.

As an environmentalist, fuck Kentucky bluegrass, fuck golf, and fuck lawns while we're at it

Perhaps the frustration is exacerbated by the lack of progress relative to the amount of money spent and time since these issues have manifested. It's also particularly visible in our increasingly globalized and interconnected world.

Joke's on you, I have a humiliation kink

It's state dependent how much it's Actually Slavery™ vs. Basically Slavery©, but prison labor is still very much a thing, sadly

Yes, but why would we dismantle our free slavery system? /S (but not really)

I feel like the issue is more nuanced than this scenario you've provided- there are legitimate concerns as to whether your personal data can be ethically handled by a chain of organizations and individuals that have no linkage to you and see you as nothing more than income. That's aside from the fact that selling personal data raises moral concerns akin to those raised by the usage of DNA-testing services as they relate to things like healthcare coverage, and blood quantum in tribal nations- issues of not having control over who can and cannot access personal, private information that could potentially be used against you. Once that data is collected, it's effectively impossible to control who has it.

These scenarios are also assuming that everyone handling your data is, at best, a neutral entity. If your personal data is collected and makes its way to someone who would like to steal your identity or otherwise cause you harm, that's a really big problem.
