Photo of a guy dressed like he lives in 18th century France, standing in front of a house whose lawn is tidily manicured grass. Text reads "Are you still dressed like this? Then why does your lawn still look like this? 18th century style yards are no longer sustainable. It's time to adjust the aesthetics of our yards! www.healthyyards.org"

Did you know that the green lawn that is so common today was originally a way for the landed gentry to show off their wealth? It was meant to imply the owner could afford to have all this land being non productive, setting them apart from those whose livelihood depended on what they could cultivate.
From the beginning, it was an ostentatious display of obscene wealth.
