I hate lawns. They suck water like nothing, require a lot of work and never look quite the way you want.

But let's keep things in perspective here. The big argument against lawns is water use. I agree. But in California, for example, all residential water use accounts for less than 15% of the total use of water in the state.

If we want to save the environment we should start with what's taking the remaining 85%.
