Turf grass lawns cover 40 million acres of land in the United States. Planting native vegetation promotes better local habitat for our pollinators and can even reduce carbon emissions. The longer root systems help keep soil in place, reducing erosion and allowing infiltration of stormwater. https://grownative.org
