I wonder what the carbon footprint on this thing is

Probably. Let's say it does. That means it's footprint is probably 3 times the size of a normal house with those things. Think all that landscaping needs gas powered maintenance and also irrigation? Grounds keepers and housekeepers traveling to and from?
Its footprint is big. That's just factual. Again, I don't really care just don't bitch at me about my usage.
How does a lawn sprinkler system impact a carbon footprint?
It takes power to run, plastic piping and parts that had to made, transported and installed (probably with the help of some machinery), people to maintain and replace parts that break or need replacing etc. Now it's ok to have a big ass green lawn? I thought the eco warriors hated green lawns and unnatural irrigation? :lol:

Where the fuck are you getting this shit from?
Seriously? You haven't heard of the "Stop watering your lawn!" folks?
There are businesses dedicated to removing lawns and replacing them with landscapes that require little to no water.
I wonder which income bracket can afford to have these services done...

California offers rebates to homeowners who get rid of their lawns.
Really? Thats actually a great thing considering CA's water problems.

I don't think Obama's speeches are all in DC.

And Trump isn't exactly known for his compelling oratory skills. If anything he could embark on a comedy tour while trying to make serious speeches.
Former presidents are paid just to be there. The speeches are written by someone else, repeated 100 times, and used to essentially give graft. It didn’t start with Obama, and won’t end with him.

As much as 2 grand. Most of the people taking advantage are hardly rich. The richers are the ones that keep their lawns.
Hell, if I could asphalt all mine and paint it green or astroturf, I would.

In the desert, homes are generally sand, with some rocks and cacti. Palm Springs was all grass, but they’re shifting, now.
