Turn your mundane one-species grass lawn into a more interesting natural environment that supports more life. Grass lawns are a resource and time sink. They require fertilizer (made from petroleum products), mowing (usually with a gas mower), and extra water.
There are several better alternatives, including: a native species-landscaped yard, a moss garden, woods, a freedom lawn, and an edible garden. Any plant that does not require mowing and fertilizer is a great option to save you time, money, and pollution. Further, the more natural the environment, the more carbon is sequestered in the soil.
