Author(s):

Lee, David S.

Abstract:

Is it better to have a well-manicured lawn around a house, or one that remains in its natural state? Lee discusses the benefits of letting a yard go \"green\" and revert to its natural state. For example, a natural yard eliminates chemical and poison use, and also reduces use of water, thereby promoting conservation of resources.
