Are Lawns Evil?

from The Christian Podcast Community

After my coworker more than once mocked lawns as a useless product of European colonialism, and after I recently saw a meme online blaming lawns for people starving, I figured I should tackle this topic.There is a recent anti-lawn movement in America. Backed by socialism and identity politics, it claims you should feel guilty about mowing and watering your grass carpet for barbecues and yard games. You're harming the environment and wasting resources!Whatever the merits or demerits of using your land for crops or meadow wildflowers, I present some arguments for why you don't have to feel guilty over your grass.Sources Cited:"Society has progressed past the need for capitalist suburban lawn culture," Reddit.Food Not LawnsAlexis Bunten, "Why & How to Decolonize Your Yard," Bioneers, June 8, 2022."Kill Your Lawn | NYT Opinion" [YouTube video], The New York Times, August 9, 2022."About Our Turf," National Park Service."The Benefits of Sustainably Managed Turf," National Park Service.Edwin Benson, "Why Your Beautiful Lawn Is now a Racist and Ecological Crime," Return To Order, August 26, 2019.Scriptures Referenced:Genesis 1:11-12,26.*** Please contribute to the Hurricane relief fund for A.M.
