Federal land managers have scrapped plans to spray pesticides near the Rio Chama in northern New Mexico as part of an effort to kill invasive grasshoppers.
"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."

"Major tire manufacturers are trying to have a lawsuit filed against them over environmental pollution dismissed.
The suit concerns a chemical used in tire production, which has been found to rapidly kill fish commonly harvested for food, such as salmon. In essence, the tire makers' argument boils down to them not being liable because it can take years for the chemical to be released into fish habitats."
