minus-squaremienshao@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoNice non sequitur you got there. Big Ag using up all our freshwater is indeed a major issue but has nothing to do with a video rightly pointing out the many, many downsides of lawns. Also, excessive lawn maintenance absolutely does impact water supplies in arid regions, so tf is your point?
