Homeowners are fined for not watering their lawns in Arizona...

This is an excerpt from an article by the Earth Justice foundation:


Desperate homeowners paint the grass green
Arizonans anxious to avoid costly fines from homeowner associations for letting their lawns go brown are painting their grass green, reports the New York Times. One homeowner in western Phoenix came up with the idea after he received a citation for neglecting his lawn. In addition, the economic downtown has also played a role in the upsurge in turf painting as realtors look for cheap ways to gussy up properties on the market. The constant struggle to have a perfect yard is even inspiring some to install artificial turf, but all of these pale in comparison (both environmentally and economically speaking) to xeriscaping, which uses a variety of desert landscaping techniques to create a beautiful, environmentally friendly lawn, no plastic or paint required.
