Actually, that's not quite true, I don't hate lawns. They serve a purpose - they can be walked and played on. And they can be maintained organically. And they don't have to be watered all summer if people would just learn to accept a brown lawn for a few months.
But I hate when people do this! A certain house in my neighbourhood does this every spring - throws synthetic fertilizer (I bet it's also weed & feed, the worst kind!) all over their lawn, sidewalk and nearby street. Grrr. What about the poor fishies who live downstream of our sewer system, where this fertilizer will inevitably end up?
And not totally unrelated, what is with the compulsion to trim the edge of the lawn beside the sidewalk with a gas-guzzling power tool so that you can have a perfect, vertical edge? Seems pointless to me.
