Fake grass, although is made in a factory, will extremely help us not use as much water. Preserving our water is very important now especially becuase we are in an extreme drought. Over time fake grass could help us conserve tons of water.

Yes, it is a great idea to put in artificial grass, but the problem is that it is made in a factory, and that factory likely puts out huge amounts of pollution. So in this situation I think it is a hard decision whether to get real grass and use more water or get artificial grass and pollute the environment from the factory

Im not sure if this helps, but also for athletes they are seeing problems in using turf or fake grass because people have the ability to get illnesses from other peoples blood on the field. And another con is that with turf there is a study showing that when they are making fake grass it actually has lead in it, and other harmful things.
So whoever is using it is getting exposed to lead.

A more sustainable solution to grass, or fake grass like you’re suggesting, would be growing your own food in place of a yard. If you really think about it, the notion of green, unproductive lawns is quite ridiculous. What do these lawns do? Perfectly trimmed, consistently watered, picturesquely green grass does nothing. Having a green lawn is only a social construct held by suburban society. If one’s lawn is patchy and brown, we assume that person has no pride in their home or no money to tend to it. Grass is nothing but a constructed notion of affluence. I challenge everyone to destroy this notion, to break down this superfluous so called “indicator” of status that really provides nothing more than green coloration. If every home planted vegetables and fruit in place of grass, no it may not be picturesque, but the water used for the lawn has a tangible yield, one that both conserves and chips away at the global hunger problem as well.
