Proud grandchild shares stunning pictures of their grandparents’ lush backyard: ‘Their garden never fails to impress me’
Embracing a more natural lawn is gaining popularity in the U.S.
"Compared to many other types of landscaping, grass lawns are hard to maintain and bad for the environment. They require lots of water, fertilizer, and pesticide, which is expensive and polluting. Regular mowing takes time many homeowners would rather spend on something more enjoyable. Meanwhile, grass doesn’t offer food or shelter for local wildlife.
That’s why many homeowners are turning away from traditional lawns and growing native plants instead, like this Redditor who simply stopped mowing to give local plants a chance to spring up."

Reflections: “I'm a Barbie girl, in the Barbie world. Life in plastic is [NOT] fantastic” - Beyond Pesticides Daily News Blog
The pink symbol of Barbie is often followed by a second symbol — plastic. The total mass of plastics on Earth now doubles the total mass of all living mammals.
“Some farmers that prefer organic farming will install bat houses around their farms to help control insects and reduce their use of pesticides,” said Ferrall. “It's estimated that they save the agricultural industry in the United States roughly $30 billion a year.”
