Capitalism for decades:
"Aren't those leaves just an awful ugly stain on that otherwise beautiful grass lawn? You should buy our rake to get rid of them. Too much work? Try our leaf blower. And then buy our grass seed to even out all those empty patches where those leaves used to be. Is a horrid dandelion trying to violate the sanctity of your perfectly monocultured lawn? Buy our exclusive weed killer."
"It's springtime and your plants need mulch? You should buy our mulch. Your tree needs fertilizer? Why not buy our specialized fertilizer mix, specifically created for maximum foliage growth!"
"You don't have the time to do all these things? Maybe you should buy our landscaping service, we'll get rid of those pesky leaves and weeds, you don't need to worry about doing it yourself. We only cost a few hours each week of your overtime pay."
Me, doing absolutely nothing all season once my ecosystems have been set up, reached equilibrium, and are consistently beautiful without any maintenance:
"Hehe, plants and animals go brrr."
Hey there! We like memes and funny stuff here on r/NoLawns, but we don't like memes that are inaccurate or spread misinformation. Rants are allowed here within reason... In general, if the discussion is respectful and constructive, we'll allow it.

Yesssss...this is like our garden here. Brrrr indeed goes the ecosystem. Couple mice here or there? No biggie here comes an owl at night or a nice thick black rat snake. I've been seeing salamanders and crickets 🦗 in the garden beds. I'm so proud.
I blame people, not capitalism. No one's forcing us to be mindless consumerists. Enough people ignore it and it'll go away.
