Since lawns are bad for the environment, what do you think lawns should be replaced with?

Optional poll if you want, since this place doesn't have polls,

Honestly, local plants* is the best way to go

Edit: Got a B- in English, how could you tell?

replace your lawn with local fauna, each blade of grass could instead be a deer

[–] GarboDog@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

We have used the wrong word and that is the most appropriate response. 👏🏻 We hate English LMFAO Wtf is the word for local plants or should we just use local plants lmao. Thought fauna was related to plants 😭

"Flora" is the plants one and "Fauna" is the animals one.

[Edit] Depending on where you live, Flora is also a female name and a brand of margarine.

No, Flora is a football team.

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I know of the Estonian football team, but are there any other Floras?

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 days ago
