It's hard to imagine a person crying over the loss of a grass lawn when there are so many other things happening in the world.

Some homeowners in the Western US have gotten rid of their grass lawns as the worst dry spell in 1200 years rages on. Some people are holding onto the hope that their lawn will be able to pull through. According to the WSJ, efforts to save water are more important than ever, but that doesn't mean everyone is on board.

One Calabasas resident told the WSJ that his kids were asking him what was wrong with the grass. I have tears in my eyes because I love the grass.

Water Conservation

It's hard to sympathize with a family in a wealthy suburb who is complaining about a brown lawn when there are so many other alternatives.

The lake's water level hit a new low. The largest water storage in the US is located in Arizona and Nevada.

The WSJ reported that the Nevada legislature passed a law requiring most property owners except single- family homes to remove their grass by the end of the century.

Style and Class

Grasses suck up a lot of water. In California and parts of the Western US, there isn't enough for everyone to keep their lawns up to date.

It's a good thing because lawns aren't great for the environment when there's no rain.

The people who don't seem to know are the ones who care more about appearance than the future of their water supply.
