I can totally see why people have a problem with huge, unused monoculture patches of grass in dry areas, but I can't understand why people think it's a universal problem.
Lawns are only a problem in areas where water is scarce. Sure, you can think of other problems with it that are "bad" for the environment, but so is literally every human activity. In my area lawns are heavily used and surrounded by flower beds, especially by families with kids, like mine.

They’re mainly targeted at golf courses and things like that but I’d expect to see them packaged for homes in the near future. It’s really neat to see how they optimize certain grasses this way and how many years of breeding and selection it takes.
