Grass is literally a hellscape for pollinators and the only thing that spends time on most lawns is a mower. I don’t understand it either.

“My family gets to see me swear at my old cars that get 10mpg that I insist on owning and somehow justify by imagining they’re learning anything beyond another datapoint as to why we shouldn’t all own and maintain lifeless landscapes and pollution machines that only serve to stroke our fragile egos”



Maybe your grass, but my grass is full of clover, and other wild flowers. I save a lot of money on chemicals and it looks good enough.


I don’t have any grass of my own but just enjoyed a patch above the Dufferin terasse in Quebec City.

For others interested in alternative options to maintaining an otherwise lifeless lawn Re:wild is an organization dedicated to finding solutions to bring pollinators and biodiversity back to our cities and neighborhoods.

I'm sure you have hobbies other people could insult you for too and if you don't you likely don't have any hobbies at all.


I like long walks on the beach and not bending over backwards attempting to justify my unsustainable environmental impact and consumption habits.

Shoot.


You could be doing something useful with your life instead of wandering aimlessly. There are people starving you know.


Oh! Why didn’t I think of that? Thank you anonymous commenter for steering my existence towards a path of ambiguous and rooted utility!
