2. I got rid of my lawn about 7 years ago, put in shrubs and mostly native plants,

and a couple of fruit trees. I get lots of pollinators, which was one of the main reasons I did it, and I also don't have to mow any more. My next-door neighbor, who fortunately moved away last summer, hated it because he thought it looked messy and un-golf-course-like, and even went so far as to spray Round-Up along the property line. Asshole. But they're gone now and I still have my monarda and black-eyed susans and coneflowers and fleabane and coralberry bushes and all the other things that benefit the environment instead of taking from it. More and more of my neighbors are doing the same.
