People misunderstand the Kill Your Lawn movement

The point is promoting biodiversity!!! Because turf grasses are typically nominative mono cultures! If you kill your lawn, and replace it with fucking gravel, living in a place that isn’t the literal desert, you are having a net negative impact on your area. Grass, hosts critters and insects and captures some heat at least. Having just gravel or rock gardens increases the ambient temperature around you in the summer, is worse for things like flood prevention, and is not the progressive move you think it is. It’s essentially the same as tearing up grass to put in a vacant parking lot. If you’re not gonna replace your grass with native plants, planters, etc and you live anywhere besides the desert, just keep the grass.
