So, do you remember hearing about the guys who said we should build big spaceships that we could fill with landfills and blast them off of Earth? Many people found this idea to be economically inefficient. But, my friend brought up another point courtesy of Mr. Einstein. His findings were that matter can not be created or destroyed, only moved. Therefore, by transferring mass from Earth, what could the the consequences (gravity, etc.) of that be? That caused me to ponder something else. Let's say on arbor day, Joe Treehugger goes out and plants a tree. He did good, right? He took a seed and turned it into a tree? Not really. Nutrients that were below the ground are now above the ground. Nothing innately good was actually created. Matter was merely transformed and rearranged.

So, come Springtime, many people will run out to their local Menards/Home Depot/Lowes and buy some fertilizer to get their lawns off to a great start and looking its greenest. But, we don't actually want our lawn to GROW fast, do we? Because that means we have to cut it more often. We just want it to look green. So, how about non-toxic grass-colored spray paint for lawns? Or if you have the means, some sort of grass-loooking & feeling artificial turf?
