@wild edges. If he was a presenter on Gardeners' World, I would definitely watch it every week.
His videos are actually fantastic and getting better all the time. Some people can't get on with the character he plays to present them or they don't really get the humour but that's their loss. Here's another one about habitat loss in Texas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drnW37X5l8A and another from the Texas Butterfly Centre all about native plants and helping wildlife https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8Fa24rG9cA&t=23s
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

I think it already is.
But due to laziness, ignorance and other things to do, rather than from ecological thinking. And all I see are front gardens; what must the backs look like?
location: Surrey Hills, England, ex-woodland acidic sand. "Have nothing in your garden that you don't know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."
Mine also @B3. If people can't grow grass easily, it's a terrible waste of often limited resources to try and do so. The amount of folk on the forum in the SE of England [in particular] and in other areas with very little rain, and dried out yellow, burnt patches in their gardens, instead of something green, has been increasing over the last few years. Probably time to rethink their spaces.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
