Just because you're dealing with dry weather doesn't mean your lawn can't be pretty. Companies in California tell the National Journal that the lawn-painting business is booming amid the state's worst recorded drought. Following the lead of golf courses and realtors, the businesses spread dye they say is nontoxic over a customer's grass. "People think it sounds ridiculous when they first hear about it," says a manager for a grass-paint maker.
I think it's disgusting to dump chemicals like that on the land, to get into the water and who knows what else, just to support this absurd notion that everyone needs a green lawn around their home.
