Lawns are a stupid thing when you think about it. They are remnants from the old symbols of wealth hundreds of years ago in Europe where the palaces and mansions had majestic lawns that were tended to by hundreds of people (no power lawn mowers). We replicate it.
Perhaps lawns are not the best thing for the environment

That's interesting. I have a friend who lives in a neighborhood where it's mandatory to maintain a lawn. You can get fined if you don't.
It's a huge waste of water and money

That is the norm in the US too. If yards are not taken care of, either the homeowners association or the city will find you.
It might change if more articles like that emerge. The reality is that wildlife needs cover. Nothing other than insect can life in a well maintain lawn. Get some brush going and small critters have a place to go.

I have read some articles about people getting in trouble for growing vegetables instead of having a lawn. Shit is outrageous.

I have been hearing more about artificial grass instead. By doing so, you don't really need to maintain it and yes its annoying to maintain.
