Green Grass

Who came up with green grass? I say this because today is landscape day around here. I can hear the lawnmowers mowing while I walk and can see grass flying from all directions. This really make me think about how capitalism really works. A person sold the idea of the green grass and we all see it as the dream we must attain. I understand people with children wanting them to have a place to run and play, but even then parents now a days do not want their kids messing up the grass. Why must we buy Lawnmowers and weed whackers? Why must we waste water? Why must we show it off? Why do businesses have it especially in these lean times? The money spent on that can save one employees job.

I can see having a vegetables and fruit trees on your lawn. But try having it in your front lawn of your home and see your neighbors reaction. I don't understand this concept. Someone please explain it to me.
