Pretty sure the mowing is the exact problem. Can’t remember if it’s solved by using an old school push-powered mower or something
Edit - after looking into it, seems like push mowers don’t help because Americans eating meat will cause as much pollution pushing a mower as using gas? Not sure
I don’t think I trust the studies saying human power is worse tbh. Cultivating food uses CO2, cows eat plants before we eat them, the plants drink CO2 from the air. Lawnmower takes power out of the ground and injects pollution in the air. Scythe has to be better
I thought a push mower might help but some studies say it might be worse. I guess the recommendation is to plant something other than grass that naturally stays good to walk on, maybe? I’m still learning about this myself
Half the grass behind the house is dead anyway and was replaced by moss naturally. The issue is the moss would dry out faster and die in the summer. The current situation is probably the best

Why is mowing the issue? If you just leave it be it grows too tall.
It’s wasteful
Would you prefer I cut it with a scythe? I already do that with a particularly steep part of the grass
