While the use of green lawn care can be seen as extreme by some, why is sustainability such a hard nut for people to crack? However, there are plenty of surrounding buildings in an urban landscape that can be used to catch and hold water for irrigation and composting all the leaves, grass clippings and sticks would make for good fertilizer. Simply adding grass doesn't = green.
