There are better uses for your land than growing useless grass that requires maintenance like mowing/trimming, water, chemicals when it does nothing for you except give your house that neat "just got a haircut" look. I'll never live in a suburb or subdivision for the reasons that they are way to strict on this kinda cr*p.

I know we keep drifting away from the cool topic of what to do with dog poop. Still, I love living in a place with yards or lawns. I don't live in a place with an HOA so we could put what ever we want to in our yard area. Some have placed rocks in their front yard. My parents have crushed rock in the back yard of their home.
I know what common courtesy says. It says PICK UP AFTER YOUR PET!! I get so tired dodging dog nuggets in the road, when I walk, by people who are so inconsiderate that they let their dogs s*** anywhere they please. That goes for other people's lawns/driveways too. It's like leaving your cigarette butts all over. How would you like it if I came over to your house, dropped my drawers and defecated on your front lawn? As far as it being green, hell, then purchase and use some paper sacks to pick it up in then!!!

"LOL!
Actually I'd love that. I could videotape it and post on youtube. One million views, here I come! $$Cha-ching$$!"
Just post the location, no doubt all your neighbors and maybe a thousand other people would gladly come over to "drop" by and help your filming activities.

It's been my experience that even when you put plastic sheeting (ugh) under the crushed rocks, silt gets blown in and you will have weeds. I have never seen people hand pick all those weeds. Most use chemical weed killers.
If you live in a high density, high pavement area, scoop it up!
Even though wild animals poop, there's a lot more dogs in a city than wild animals in the same area out in the sticks. Dog poop on a sidewalk or even a yard is more likely to wash right into the storm drains (and into your local stream, lake, bay, sound or ocean) than moose poop on a forest floor in Alaska.
If everyone in my city (Seattle) let their dog poop on their lawn, that'd be 25 TONS of dog poop washing into our local waterway each DAY.
If you live on 10 acres in North Dakota, yeah, sure, leave the poop there.

I'd like to see your source for your data.
Kinda funny how 'environmentalists' think they must 'rush in' and 'save nature'. 20 billion years plus of evolution to turn a barren rock in space into a thriving, balanced ecosystem. Balacned for so long it has achived the ultimate creature with reason and intelligence, and then that same creature determines it to be so flawed that it must be rescued from itself.

Now THAT is truly miraculous.
20 billion? And a "plus" even. C'mon, let's not exaggerate too much.
