Today it is reported that a couple in Sacramento was fined $746.00 for allowing their lawn to go brown as a public health nuissance while respecting Governor Schwarzeneggers declaration of a drought. Do consider checking www.organicsacramento.org for drought resistance landscapes.
Organic Sacramento led the way to get the city to change its mind about allowing Sacramentoan to grow food on their own front lawns. This was a 3 year effort- but they did it. Perhaps they can get this drought fine removed too- what do you think?
Caller on the Angie Coiro show on http//:www.green960.com today mentioned Silicon Valley has an incentive to take out natural lawns to replace them with a water saving landscape instead. I have known this to be true in Southern California, where artificial turf is being put in.
Though, why not use the lawn for food as in the documentary www.CommunitySolution.org , the plan that worked to get Cuba off oil altogether.
