There are 142,153,010 residential properties in the United States. Let’s say just 42,000,000 of those properties get the grass cut. [It takes approximately] 1.4 gallons of gas used on average per lawn, per week; 25 weeks of grass cutting. [That comes to] 1.06 billion gallons saved if you stop that ridiculous activity. Then there is the life killed and oxygen-producing leaves being cut. All for image and appearance. Humans are absurd.

Blue collar workers are destroying resources and the environment while greenwashing, claiming to do the opposite…and while begging rich people to solve their problems with our taxed to teeth wages. The law of conservation of mass says there cannot be more than there was. You don’t do manual labor for a master and magically there are more resources to go around.
