Well people enjoy their lawns. Why do they have to produce something?

  People enjoyed watching criminals be torn apart by lions in ages past. That people enjoy something is hardly sufficient. As a society we have to consider the amount of resources we put into, and damage caused by, all our pasttimes. Particularly for things which don't appear at all innate - maintaining lawns is by no means popular around the world, it's mostly a European diaspora thing. If it were stopped, it's doubtful most people would even remember them in a generation or two.

  At the very least refusing to engage in wasteful and environmentally harmful activities shouldn't be illegal.

  Do they? Our whole neighborhood remained indoors 97% of the time because most days in the summer had temps of 95-100F. Every house nevertheless diligently watered their lawn, multiple times a day, to keep up a perfect shade of green. The one house that wouldn't would be shamed relentlessly until they straightened their act. Our neighborhood did not "enjoy" its lawns. It was collectively petrified into maintaining them to avoid public scorn.
