Hopefully we can eliminate lawns as a mainstream American concept. Landscaped pollinator gardens are so much easier to maintain, require less fertilizer and pesticides (and runoff), require less water, and are better to look at!
There are plenty of options for slow-release fertilizers and responsible ways to care for lawns, including non-toxic pesticides,special grass varieties, subsurface drip irrigation, water saving additives, etc. I'm OK with getting rid of "non-functional" lawns that people don't ever step foot on, but the idea that lawns are responsible for droughts is the biggest lie that was ever told, residential is only a small fraction of water consumption.
