I love mowing lawns. Put some headphones on and a good audiobook and I can mow for hours. I'm actually a little sad that I only have a small lawn now, because I can barely get into a rhythm before I'm done.

Mow your neighbors lawns I'm sure they won't mind lol
I've considered it, but they all want to mow it down to nothing and I like my grass longer
Lawns:
-
require artificial irrigation that contributes to depletion ofvaquifers
-
create monocultures that reduce biodiversity and harm ecosystems
-
require maintenance that usually involves burning fossil fuels
-
shadeless lawns contribute to warmer neighborhoods
-
act as nitrogen sinks

Then we spread water unnecessarily all over the lawn to help it grow?
The only thing that sucks about it... is paying someone $65/week to get it done. I seriously need a zero turn mower.
Just stay off mine, you darn kids
