There are Greener Options than Grass

Some of my most environmentally aware friends found themselves on the receiving end of some hopefully friendly jibes the other day.  They had committed the egregious sin of replacing some bushes in their front yard with grass so their daughter could play.  It is hard to have a picnic or to play on bushes!
 
I stopped by their house the other day with my boys and soon, there were 5 neighbourhood children under 4 playing on the grass.  Now then, what would you say is more important to this community?  The bushes or the greenspace that allows the community to interact. 

Anyhow, my suggestion is that they have a look at Plant-Friendly Gardening Guide to get a few ideas that makes the provocative grass go away.
