Thanks for this interesting article. I would like to explore more when it is in the public interest and how to act on it to restrict landscaping that is harmful to others as well as encourage landscaping that is beneficial. Examples are to limit the rights of people to plant invasive species and to use extraordinarily loud and polluting gasoline powered equipment, poisons, and too much water on lawns, often with little or no foot traffic. On the flip side, governments, groups, and individuals can provide education about alternatives, such as native plants, and subsidize this. An example is that the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources provides funds for people to convert lawns to meadows. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this with you.
