I find it interesting that American society has stagnated in some respects. They’re ahead of most of the world in many aspects of modern technology yet, when it comes to chip and pin bank cards they’re 10 years behind Europe.
And as for environmental awareness, which this topic is broadly about, little composting, no green waste collection and heavy usage of garden chemicals. Wider still, over reliance on carbon fuels and massive under investment in public utilities. It sets me in mind of the UK in the 1960s and 70s.

@BenCotto I'm not proud of my native country's efforts on 'green' targets, activities, or progress. This song always comes to mind when I consider my country's attitude towards the environment: https://youtu.be/UrgpZ0fUixs (Contains a number of swear words)

“You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac Eldorado convertible Hot pink with whale skin hubcaps And all leather cow interior And big brown baby seal eyes for head lights (Yeah) And I'm gonna drive in that baby at 115 miles per hour Gettin' one mile per gallon Sucking down Quarter Pounder cheeseburgers from McDonald's In the old fashioned non-biodegradable styrofoam containers And when I'm done sucking down those greaseball burgers I'm gonna wipe my mouth with the American flag And then I'm gonna toss the styrofoam containers right out the side And there ain't a * thing anybody can do about it”
I'd get a couple of goats if I had that much land I wanted to keep as grass!
As a former goatkeeper (small dairy herd) … goats would be useless to keep your grass short … goats eat very little if any grass … they eat ‘browse’ … hedgerows and scrub.
You’d have to get sheep … or geese … or rear a couple of bullocks on your two acres.

Same here, though sometimes used carefully as mulch where slugs and snails aren't an issue, like around fruit trees.
