    I haven't mowed my lawn for 21 years.
    The lawn started as 2 acres in size (now with added trees), so not inconsiderable. Now it's full of life, with Nature adding new wild flowers all the time, wild animals happily nosing through it.
    Mowing is a habit, a bad habit imposed by conventional expectations - and you pay for it too!
    Give yourself a rest from it, you suddenly find you can enjoy your weekends a lot more.

    I live in Costa Rica. When it rains, my backyard becomes a jungle. It's an urban backyard. We only cut down the vines that get in the house or on the roof. Hummingbirds nest there.
    Bees and other insects feed on the wild flowers.
    Almost everything disappears during the dry season, except the hardiest plants and the trees. The vine flowers all year long.

    There's a theory on how you can use those concrete ditch by turning them upside down and fully cover/plant over it with grass. Any wind/air pass underneath it are usually colder.

    A growing problem in the Philippines is the proliferation of mining operations -- legal and illegal. The destruction of rain forests brings about widespread flooding, loss of habitat for wildlife, food insecurity for indigenous people and toxic effects on the environment will last for generations to come.

    Grass is a double edge sword. If you leave it uncut in summer with the high temperatures, it becomes fuel for fire.

      I find that treading the same path across a lawn is enough. I mow nothing and I don't wear the pathways to bare soil either. If grass flops onto the paths in wet weather, I get a broom and push it back the other way. It stays there.

  • @martiansoon9092
    @martiansoon9092 Před 10 dny

    Seaweed has been dying near Ibearian coastlines and elsewhere due to extreme surface warmth... When seaweed dies, there is no further carbon sink. And most likely at shallow waters the degrading dead seaweed just bubbles its carbon out as methane making huge emissions...
    Situation is dire.
    We could add some seaweed farms in the middle of the ocean where sinking biomass has no room to leak to the air. If biomass degrades deep enough its methane will be eaten before it surfaces.

    Letting plants grow in your yard is just one step.
    To understand the overall problem you should just look around you. EVERYTHING near you is DEAD. Our houses - dead, cities - dead, streets - dead, even our lawns and farming lands are often used as a single specie death zones.
    We LOVE OUR DEAD ENVIRONMENT. That is the problem we are causing.
    And we worsen the situation further with our poisons like greenhouse gases, e-pills (sewage goes to rivers and makes havoc), microplastics, well over 300k different chemical components that has random effects, ...
