We (our entire society) should really be reconsidering lawns and "attractive lawns" in general. The care and maintenance of Kentucky bluegrass is a tremendous drain on resources, a significant cause of pollution (air and water), and destroys the habitats of native plants, insects and animals. It is just bad all around.

This, this, this. It's ridiculous that we emulate British royalty who started this trend to show how rich they were by not needing useful crop.
