I'm all for natural lawns full of wild flowers etc but a tax on lawns is ridiculous and as john says, will never happen. Grass is better than concrete.
Correct me if i'm wrong but don't you need to water shrubs and vege's, put slug replelent down so sort of defeats the argument.
Maybe a better idea would be an education programme in the drought areas about grasses that do well in drought's so that they then need to use less water.
I don't believe it's a spammer article, as part of the article appears in phyiscal print in today's paper.
I think it is an ill-informed article but it's a good reason to debate, correct inaccuracies and pass views on it.
History shows other such stupid ideas have made it into law.....
I think Rich is pointing out that the article is packed with keywords and links trying to fool search engines.
It;s been unethically compiled....at least that's how I read it.
Its just abit of Guardian waffle to stir up some debate and comments - its not serious, and may at most have some envy of people with big gardens by the author.
Total nonsense - If you tax lawns, you MUST tax Hard landscaping as this is 10x more damaging to the environment than a lawn...
Ok every one remove your grass like in the olden days when your windows were taxed.
Then when we start gettig to much rain, and there is no grass to drink it, all the water, that lands on everyones new laid driveways which take the place where the grass once laid, runs off in to the road and ends up flooding the sewer system.
Yep, agree. Would be an ill-thought out solution.
Similar to the Window Tax - which gave rise to tha famous saying ' Daylight Robbery' and the Fireplace Tax which resulted in "Money to burn"....
However, Governments have done stranger things..... ;-)
"cash for grass"
As the source is in The Grauniad Gary, I think it's safe to say that it is unlikely to become government policy.
Suspiciously close to April 1st chaps, maybe it was originally an April fool and the paper has picked it up and run with it a few days later.
