Read this article in the Chicago Tribune this morning and thought it pretty provocative:
Turf war ruffles wealthy residents of Florida enclave
So this guy puts in a plastic lawn, the neighbors hate it,try to force him to take it out, and he retaliates by painting his house puke-pink with blue and green polka dots!
The municipality then determines the rubberized-base of the plastic turf washes into the surrounding watershed and is toxic to fish, but the plastic lawn has the environmental benefits of requiring no water or chemicals.
Apparently it looks great from a distance, but is kinda shiny up close and the dogs won't go near it.
Wonder how it feels on the feet?
You lawn-care professionals must be shaking in your shoes...
