So much time/effort/fertilizer invested in monoculture grass and yards… yards people often don’t even spend any time in.
I see from the link that simply ‘committing to mulching’ is at least being advertised as part of the program.
Perhaps the name of the program, “Leave the leaves” is turning people off. It’s easy to understand, but like a headline, that’s all most people read (and subsequently make up their minds about without even seeing mulching as helping).
Note: Several states did pass anti-sustainability-legislation, including Alabama (SB477 in 2012) and Oklahoma (HB1412 in 2013). At least five other states -- Kansas, Missouri, New Hampshire, Maine, and Arizona -- had legislative proposals.
My city has a "leave the leaves" policy that a lot of suburban homeowners don't like.
