> home lawn -> destruction of the planet Your citations state that lawns consume 60% of household water, implying that this leads inevitably to environmental catastrophe. But household water usage is a small fraction of total fresh water usage. In a dry region like California, households consume only 10% of total fresh water [0]. In regions that get more rain, households consume a much smaller fraction than that. If the government could somehow force every household to convert every lawn into cactus and prevent every resident from bathing more than once per week, would that delay the "destruction of the planet" by any measurable amount?
